Small Business Hackathon | Sept 16, 2022 | 12:30-2:30p ET

Welcome Financial Experts!

Are you looking for meaningful ways to give back?

You can make a difference in helping entrepreneurs by partnering with us.
​
Your talents and expertise will help entrepreneurs to thrive.
​
 

IFEL is partnering with the National Minority Supplier Diversity Council's Emerging Young Entrepreneurs (EYE) program again this year to provide expert support and capacity to their 2022 EYE Cohort of entrepreneurs.

​

We are looking for volunteers to meet 1:1 with EYE entrepreneurs to review financial projections via a Zoom event on Friday, September 16, 2022, 12:30-2:30 PM ET. After a brief welcome, each entrepreneur/volunteer pair will go into a breakout room to work together. The purpose of the session is for the entrepreneurs to get help thinking critically about their assumptions and to have help from financial professionals to better understand the economics of their business.

​

The best part, we make it easy to participate and it only takes two hours of your time to make a life-changing difference
