CenterState CEO’s Start It! Business Basics program is moving to a new home

September 9, 2025

CenterState CEO’s Start It! Business Basics program is moving to the INSPYRE Innovation Hub, beginning October 6, 2025.

This new chapter builds on Start It!’s success in connecting aspiring entrepreneurs with the resources, knowledge, and support they need to launch and grow their businesses. By relocating to the INSPYRE Innovation Hub, the program will offer participants a dynamic, collaborative environment designed to inspire innovation and build stronger connections across the entrepreneurial community.

Start It! remains focused on reducing barriers to entry and creating pathways for individuals who may not have otherwise pursued entrepreneurship. With the added support and resources available at the Innovation Hub, participants will have access to mentorship, strategic guidance, and an expanded network of peers and advisors, all while receiving the same high-quality training that has defined the program.

Applications are now open, and interested participants should contact Erik Jankowski, CenterState CEO’s Small Business Manager, for more information.
