Wells was recently selected to participate in the Rural Entrepreneurial Ventures (REV) program sponsored by the Southern Minnesota Initiative Foundation. REV is designed to help rural communities create more vibrant economies by finding and supporting local entrepreneurs — from business startups to existing businesses that want to grow.
The first phase is to understand the current state. As part of this early work, community members are invited to complete a short survey called the Entrepreneurial Confidence Index. The index is designed to measure local entrepreneurial culture and attitudes. We plan to do this survey annually to assess the impacts of REV activities. Results will be shared with the community in the coming months.
The deadline to complete the survey is March 31, 2021. Your feedback is greatly appreciated!
