NEW BASE Roundtables Offered for Startups
Are you building your business and ready for the next step? In partnership with Cleveland State University, Burton D. Morgan Foundation is relaunching two BASE Roundtables this fall with newly expanded criteria—making it easier than ever for founders to join.
BASE (Business Acceleration Through Shared Experience) is built on the proven PeerSpectives® method from the Edward Lowe Foundation. Each roundtable is a confidential, founder-driven space where business owners share challenges, exchange insights, and walk away with practical solutions. Monthly sessions include informal discussions with business experts in a variety of fields, from finance and accounting to HR and marketing.
