This week, our program partner NYCEDC launched Next Level Bronx, which is generously supported by Citi Community Development and powered by Interise’s StreetWise ‘MBA’™ curriculum. Business owners in over 65 locations across the United States are learning to work ON their business with the StreetWise ‘MBA’™, gaining also the network of peers that will hold them accountable to their plans for growth. This NYCEDC Bronx class represents established businesses from the following industries, to name a few: construction, transportation, cleaning, IT, graphic design, pest control, plumbing…

We asked each business owner in this inaugural NYCEDC Next Level Bronx class, 

“Why are you taking the StreetWise ‘MBA’™?”

  5. Focus on the growth of my business, I am running in many different directions and need a more narrow approach
  6. Increase revenues. I would like to develop a strategy for the long term and build a team that I can trust.
  7. I want to go to the next level re procurement
  8. Train staff to take on more responsibility and learn to let go
  9. I look forward to doing business with other members of this cohort
  10. I want to create a strategy to organize my business more efficiently and try to sell it in a different way
  11. I want a continuation of growth, be a little more organized and develop internally
