Goldman Sachs 10,000 Small Businesses

The past 12 weeks in the Goldman Sachs 10,000 Small Businesses program have been an incredible experience. I had the privilege of learning and growing alongside 31 of Montana’s most inspiring small business owners and leaders who are not only building strong, resilient businesses, but who are deeply committed to their communities and to the future of our state.

This journey challenged me to grow as a professional, business owner, and provider. It opened the door to new tools, resources, and perspectives that will continue to support my business, our team, and our community. I never could have imagined just how much growth, knowledge, and connection would come from this experience.

More than anything, I’m walking away with immense gratitude for the friendships, relationships, and statewide network we built together. Being surrounded by others who are genuinely invested in you, offering support, advice, and collaboration, is truly something special.

There are big things ahead for small businesses in Montana, and I’m excited for what’s to come!

I’m incredibly thankful for the time, guidance, encouragement, and curriculum from Babson College, Great Falls College, and our local business advisors. It was an honor to be part of the inaugural Montana cohort of the Goldman Sachs 10,000 Small Businesses program, and I’m so thankful for how it has shaped me.
