Have a business idea but not sure where to start or working with someone who does?

RMMFI’s Business Idea Lab is designed for early-stage entrepreneurs across Colorado (outside the Denver metro) who are looking for clarity, direction, and support to move from idea to action without needing to have it all figured out. Whether someone is just beginning to explore business ownership or refining an existing idea, this 6-session program provides the tools to strengthen and shape their concept. The program wraps up with a Pitch Night, where participants can share their ideas with the community and compete for prize funding to help launch their business.

We also welcome referrals from partners and community connectors supporting individuals in the idea phase.
