Durham entrepreneurship programs

echo is building a community-centered ecosystem that is focused on mobilization, where entrepreneurs don’t just receive support, they become the support. We know that entrepreneurs aren’t passive recipients of training; they are co-creators, facilitators, near-peer mentors, and investors in each other’s success.

By adopting the "Entrepreneurs Build Entrepreneurs" model, we are creating a space where collective knowledge and experience fuel individual success.
