Waypoint Closing Ceremony
Join us as we celebrate this year’s Waypoint cohort and the progress they’ve made over the past 8 weeks.
Throughout the program, this group of entrepreneurs has taken part in an intensive and transformational journey filled with fresh ideas, meaningful conversations, and bold next steps. Guided by seasoned subject matter experts, participants gained real-world insight to help them navigate the challenges and opportunities of entrepreneurship.
Along the way, they also learned from one another — sharing feedback, brainstorming solutions, and building a supportive network that extends beyond the program.
What They’ve Explored
Over the course of the program, participants have covered key topics such as:
– Business Validation — testing ideas to ensure they meet real market needs.
– Business Planning — developing a clear roadmap from concept to execution.
– Pricing Products & Services — balancing value, competitiveness, and profitability.
– Creating Financial Projections — mapping the numbers needed to sustain and scale their vision.

Whether you’re an entrepreneur, a friend or family member, or simply someone who enjoys supporting local businesses, this event offers a front-row seat to the next wave of change-makers.
