Join our partners in supporting the local Wake Forest Area Entrepreneurs. Your sponsorship helps a young business owner or startup learn the ins and outs of what it takes to run a business.

Wake Forest is an amazing, thriving community and small businesses are part of our unique charm. They are the dreamers, the initiators, the risk-takers, and the impact makers. We want to ensure that our town is where they are planted and where they’ll succeed. Whether it's launching a new idea or sustaining a business, it takes a strong plan, support from others, and resources to flourish. That’s where the LaunchWakeForest program steps in, providing hands-on business mentorship, planning, financial support, and an accredited program to 20 lucky applicants every Spring. Participants establish strong connections with other local entrepreneurs, boosting each other's businesses. And because of the generosity of our sponsors, it's all provided for free.
