Are you a business owner with great ideas that is determined to reach revenues of at least $1 million? If you have a City of Oakland business license and you are committed to growing in Oakland, then the Created In Oakland program might be for you.
This nine-month program was created for the City of Oakland by the Business Value Alliance and its cofounders, Claire Kinlaw and Darlene Crane. Participants with a nascent idea for expansion meet in monthly half-day group and individual sessions. During these sessions, they discuss their goals with industry and business experts who provide guidance in achieving sustainable growth.
Larson Shores Architects Inc. participated in the 2008-09 Created In Oakland session. The company was named as a finalist for the Best Elevator Pitch Prize at the 2009 Silicon Valley Boomer Venture Summit and Business Plan Competition. Their product, "The Inspired In-law Kit," is a solution for boomers seeking to accommodate their aging parents in their current home. This concept creates a green, financially feasible, multigenerational housing solution.
On June 22, 2009, Created in Oakland will be presenting to the Oakland Merchant Leadership Forum at the Oakland City Hall, Hearing Room 4, at 8:30 a.m.
Created in Oakland is sponsored by the City of Oakland and the Communications Technology Cluster. Applications for the 2009-10 Created In Oakland program are available now from the Business Value Alliance.
