Omaha, Nebraska- On March 28th GROW Nebraska Women’s Business Center celebrated an amazing group of Entrepreneurs as the first graduating Class of Business Plan: Snap & Boost 2023 and the organization couldn’t be prouder!


This year, Cohort 1 was made up of individuals representing businesses in the industries of Transportation, Technology, Home Care, Childcare and Food Services. Each Entrepreneur completed this 6-week training program not only gaining knowledge and tools but also completed Business Plans.

We also heard from Kodjovi Zounon with Crowned Warrior LLC who won The Trailblazer Award. He states,” Business Plan: Snap & Boost was a great program that really helped me understand the basics of business strategies and creating a success business plan.”
