WISE ENTREPRENEURS
WISE Entrepreneurs are entrepreneurs of all ages who realize that they need assistance with their startups. Our site includes information to help you get started and up and running. You will learn more than you hoped for with The Real World Entrepreneur Training Video Series.
If you are a cross-generational business or are thinking of having a co-founder, then you will be interested in the CrossGen Founders Podcast where you will learn from other CrossGen Founders who have gone through their startups.
If you are an entrepreneur over the age of 50, you will be interested in the WISE-Seniors in Business offerings.

Extensive research shows people over the age of 50 have a different set of challenges than young entrepreneurs who are starting a business for the first time.
CrossGen Founders
CrossGen Founders are entrepreneurs from different generations with complementary strengths and interests that can propel a new business toward success or prepare an existing business for succession.
