Starting or growing a young business can be challenging, but minority owners often face unique barriers to success. The Mankato Chapter of One Million Cups has put together a panel of people with experience working with and in diverse communities.

During a virtual discussion, we will highlight key resources available to small minority-owned businesses. With a panel of minority owners, a consultant, and financial experts, a range of perspectives will be shared. The discussion will be guided by Lisa Cownie, Editor of CONNECT Business Magazine.
