Running a small business is no easy feat. From marketing to money management, entrepreneurs often encounter a steep climb with limited access to support. That’s where SEED SPOT’s SST25 comes in: a free, 5-week program packed with game-changing workshops, expert mentorship, and real-time support to help founders achieve their goals.
Since its launch on March 3rd, this innovative baseball-themed experience has been assisting Arizona’s entrepreneurs in moving from one “base” to the next with confidence, creativity, and community.
What’s Made SST25 a Home Run ?
Powerful Workshops – Covering topics from legal basics and AI to operations and digital marketing, each session offers practical strategies that help small businesses level up quickly. One participant shared:
“The content was amazing! All of the sessions gave great nuggets for anybody in business—not just startups.”
Dedicated Mentorship – Entrepreneurs are paired with mentors who bring real-world expertise and personal attention. Feedback has been glowing:
“WOW!! Mr. Burt was very professional, kind, and patient… I’m very happy I picked him for my mentoring session.”
“Tara gave me insights on marketing and ways to create a market for myself. I’m grateful 💙”
“James helped me find clarity for my business and better understand my audience.”
Microgrants and Momentum— the first 100 microgrants for participants- are helping them take real steps toward growth and sustainability.
Real Impact – The stories pouring in from participants are nothing short of inspiring:
“I almost gave up after two attempts at getting started. I’m so glad you were able to get things on track for me. You made a huge difference!”
“Casa Bloom wouldn’t be where it is today without the support, mentorship, and community that SEED SPOT and SST have provided.” Denisse Martin.
