Welcome Carrot Alumni & Current Students!
Through our new Carrot Club for Community Carrot graduates, we are providing opportunities to learn about new industries, acquire new skills, and to develop new business relationships across all of Carrot’s community. We also want to be available to hear where you are getting stuck with your business along the way, and set aside time to address those roadblocks. We’re here to help you keep moving forward with your business idea.
We’ve secured a meeting space in Seattle at El Centro de La Raza – the Salvador Allende Room 106. We’ll meet from 4 to 6pm on Tuesdays (Pacific time) 7 to 9pm (Eastern time). Classes start Tuesday March 26th and the programming will be available on Zoom for our friends in DC and those who can’t make it in person. Please refer to the class schedule below.
Please reach out to vince@communitycarrot.org if you have any ideas about what topics you would like to learn about or have any questions. Let’s make this a fantastic and productive 2024!
