Filed Under: Downtown Birmingham, Front Page, Small Business
After opening Chocolatà Artisanal Chocolatier in 2017, Kathy D’Agostino has enjoyed watching the once quiet streets of downtown Birmingham come back to life. REV sat down with her to learn more about how she landed here, where she thinks the city is heading, and why Chocolata believes in Birmingham.
HOW DOES IT WORK?
Our team is poised to help you think through your business model, offer fresh perspective, and connect you with resources and individuals to help you reach your goals. We utilize a structured yet flexible process to understand and address your specific needs.
We begin with a needs assessment. From there, we’ll identify opportunities to support you. We use a goal-setting process to help you identify 30, 60 and 90-day goals. We’re here to coach you, but implementation is up to you. But don’t worry; if you get off course we’re here to help you identify changing milestones.
It takes a village to support a robust entrepreneurial community. Together with invested partners, REV equips passionate people with knowledge and resources to grow their idea from concept into a brick and mortar.
READY TO GET STARTED?
This is your journey. Entrepreneurs lead, and we feed them. We can help problem solve, but you are responsible for your own success or failure.
