Entrepreneurs Assembly

Entrepreneurs who have already started a business or are dreaming of starting one are often seeking the freedom to define their quality of life. Tahoe is appealing as one assumes they can work and “live the life,” however, many aspiring entrepreneurs and new business owners find the reality is often stress over licensing, logistics, finances and marketing.

Enter the Entrepreneurs Assembly (EA). This award-winning mentor program is now in South Lake Tahoe to provide support to budding and existing entrepreneurs. EA began its free monthly program on October 1 at Lake Tahoe Community College (LTCC) in partnership with Tahoe Chamber, Tahoe Mountain Lab and the college’s Future Business Leaders club. The ongoing program occurs from 6 p.m. to 9 p.m. on the first Thursday of the month in the Aspen Room at Lake Tahoe Community College.

Entrepreneurs Assembly is a Nevada not-for-profit corporation dedicated to educating and facilitating entrepreneurs in creating and growing their businesses. The program, which has assisted over 250 unique entrepreneurs in only three years, guides individuals when beginning a new business and taking control of a business while forming real strategies that produce real results. EA features knowledgeable mentors to assist program participants to more easily begin a business and earn more money. This is accomplished through the monthly “virtual incubator” sessions which empower entrepreneurs and small business owners to originate successful business opportunities in their community.
