🚀 COHORT 6 is on Another level! Today, Rising CEOs kicked off Cohort 6 at UNO and teen entrepreneurs came ready to build a real business in 10 weeks, pitch it, and win BIG. From ideating their business ideas to taking on our signature “Sell Me Anything” challenge, these young entrepreneurs were already putting their creativity to work. Our instructor, Paula Baggiani, was on deck to guide them every step of the way. We were also excited to welcome two incredible voices from the Rising CEOs community: ✨ Hillary Lawson, former Rising CEO, returning to share her journey and wisdom with the next generation. ✨ Karine Sokpoh, CEO of the MAC Chamber, reminding our young entrepreneurs to dream big, and that entrepreneurs are born, not made. Cohort 6, this is Week 1. Ideas will become ventures. Confidence will become leadership. And dreams will become possibilities. Rising CEOs, 10 weeks on the clock! Let’s go! 💙🧡 #RisingCEOs #Cohort6 #YouthEntrepreneurship #Entrepreneurship #FutureLeaders #UNO #Omaha #YoungEntrepreneurs #BuildTheFuture #SuccessStartsHere MAC Foundation MAC Chamber formerly Midlands African Chamber, Inc.
