Entrepreneur Greenhouse – Krosslink.org Program at Library

The Westborough Library regularly hosts “Entrepreneur Greenhouse” meet-ups sponsored by Krosslink.org, some of which include guest speakers and are recorded by Westborough TV and available for viewing below.

Krosslink.org is a volunteer-driven community program created to help develop, nurture, and foster entrepreneurship by connecting aspiring entrepreneurs to local business leaders, mentors and civic leaders who can help them achieve their goals. The program creates a unique link with local libraries that empowers them to evolve their mission into “Entrepreneur Greenhouses.” The result is a vibrant eco-system where individuals looking to build a business can find resources and activities to kick start their plans such as networking events with other business leaders, a collaborative workspace filled with keynote speakers, bar-stool pitch sessions, facilitated meet-up sessions and mentoring by SCORE business experts. For more details on how you can leverage this ecosystem to develop your business, please visit www.krosslink.org.
