Project 412 presents Deep Dive DL Entrepreneurship Series

Listen • Ask • Learn

The new “Deep Dive DL” entrepreneur speaker series, developed by Sarah Hofmann, Project 412’s ecosystem builder, will occur on the third Thursday of every month.  Guests can grab a cup of coffee starting at 8:00 am and presentations by business owners will begin at 8:15 am.  
 
The coffee and presentations are free of charge to all attending. The locations will vary according to which entrepreneur’s business is being highlighted.
 
Sarah Hofmann of Project 412 aims to connect people over coffee and give guests the opportunity to hear real-life stories of starting and developing businesses in the Detroit Lakes area. A segment of each presentation is reserved for attendees to ask questions and get answers from the featured business owner(s) and others in the room.
 
The series will inspire prospective entrepreneurs to start their businesses and get support from others in the community. Hofmann states, “Deep Dive DL is our way of creating community — people can learn, connect, and leave feeling inspired — all the while supporting our local businesses.”
 
Follow the Project 412 Facebook page for ongoing details about this series and other events.
 
Note: The Becker County Museum has agreed to host presentations in cases where the featured business venue is not conducive to gathering and hosting an audience.
