Entrepreneurship and Small Business
The vast majority of businesses in the North Bay are small business. Started by innovators or nurtured by families, small business and entrepreneurship are the life-blood of the North Bay.
The School of Business and Economics supports these enterprises through a variety of partnerships and services. We work with the Chambers of Commerce around the county and also with the Sonoma Mountain Business Cluster.
Our faculty are active on the research and speaking fronts, developing case studies, organizing conferences and speaking at events like the North Bay Innovation Forum.
A number of our classes are built around supporting small businesses. Student teams partner with local companies to analyze their business and then develop solutions to problems like marketing, business operations, or obtaining financing.
If you're a small business or someone that supports small businesses and would like to learn more about what we do, please contact our dean, Dr. William Silver.
