To mark the ending of this season of The Tidbit, the hotline is open once again and answering the most commonly asked question among aspiring entrepreneurs: I think I have a good idea for a food business, where do I start? On today’s episode, we have FIVE Cureate Facilitators, Kim Bryden, Tessa Velazquez, Julia Raymond, Walton Smith and Candy Schibli, who are sharing their expertise on how to approach this big question by taking into consideration factors like vision and mission, unique value proposition and driving brand awareness in sales. These specialized coaches are also directly involved in Cureate Courses, a free 10-week food and beverage entrepreneurship program designed to help entrepreneurs navigate the industry, grow their businesses and join a community of like minded business owners. Applications are open for the Fall 2024 Maryland cohort until July 27th. To learn more visit: https://www.cureate.co/courses-md.
