Have a business idea? Already started something and ready to grow it? Her+ Business Builder is a hands-on entrepreneurship program for women who want practical help turning an idea into a business — or making an existing business stronger. This isn't another online course you're expected to figure out by yourself. You'll learn, build, and grow alongside a small local cohort of women who are doing it with you. Beginning October 13, we'll meet via Zoom and live in person at the Women’s Opportunity Center Ithaca from 4–6 PM for nine interactive sessions where we'll learn together, share ideas, solve problems, and actually work on YOUR business. No giant business plan. No pitch competition. Instead, you'll build the pieces of your business as we go — with live instruction, individualized support, and a group of women learning right alongside you.

We'll cover:

💰 Pricing, financials & understanding your numbers
🎨 Branding & business identity
📱 Marketing & social media
🤖 Practical AI tools for small business
🎯 Customer discovery & understanding your market
💬 Sales & customer relationships
🏦 Financing, loans & funding options
⚖️ Legal basics, LLC formation & getting your business set up
📈 Planning for growth
…and more based on what our cohort needs.

We'll finish with a Her+ Business Builder Showcase, where you'll have the opportunity to share your business, what you've built, how the pieces came together, and where you're headed next.
