You'll meet: • Jocelyn Weaver & Jasmin Young, pitching Urban Bliss, a metaphysical and wellness boutique selling spiritual tools such as sage, spiritual oils, jewelry and reiki classes; • Mystic Good, pitching Flare in Focus, an accessible styling service business offering personal styling services, event styling, closet organizations, and creative direction for special projects/photography; • Jamie Rippey, pitching Rippey Concierge, a concierge lifestyle management service for college students offering one-on-one coaching relationships with each student for 6-month contracts; • Erin Layne, pitching Sexy is She, a membership based social platform for women in which we cultivate sisterhood and women empowerment and personal transformation through open dialogue, social events, networking, and education; • Dyneisha Thomas, pitching Dream Girl Collection, offering sensitively crafted skincare products that remove acne and unwanted blemishes. Early Risers Academy is designed for aspiring founders in any industry. We’re particularly excited to work with more women and minority founders. Participants complete Kauffman FastTrac coursework from the nationally-renowned Kauffman Foundation, receive pitch coaching and hands-on mentoring, weekly discussions with successful entrepreneurs and experts, & access to Dayton’s entrepreneurial ecosystem. These workshops can also be valuable for founders early in their small business journey, or who jumped right into their business without formally developing the plans behind it and are now discovering they need some of that paperwork in place to grow.
