About The Program 

The StartUpNV Rural Nevada Roadshow, in partnership with the Nevada Governor’s Office of Economic Development (GOED) and sponsored by the USDA, supports entrepreneurial growth and success for established and aspiring small businesses and founders  in rural Nevada. Over the course of the year, the roadshow will visit eight different rural Nevada communities across seven counties, delivering a series of educational events.These events will deliver information on key areas crucial to business growth, such as developing business models, understanding customer needs, market sizing, and crafting compelling value propositions. Entrepreneurs participating in the Roadshow will also learn more about local resources and programs available – including GOED’s international trade and export program, and receive access to StartUpNV’s online incubator, IncubateNV.
