HSN Partners With SCORE to Support American Small Businesses and Aspiring Entrepreneurs
16 Novembro 2017 - 11:00AM
Leading entertainment and lifestyle retailer HSN, an operating
segment of HSN, Inc. (NYSE:HSNI), and SCORE, the nation’s largest
network of volunteer business mentors and a resource partner of the
US Small Business Administration to benefit and empower small
businesses, announced today a new collaboration that will serve
entrepreneurs and aspiring business owners through educational
opportunities and firsthand experience pitching products and new
business ventures.
Leveraging HSN’s experience scouting and
elevating talented entrepreneurs as well as SCORE’s history as a
resource for mentoring, workshops and business tools, the
partnership will provide for jointly-held training forums and
webinars; networking events; and opportunities to pitch new
products to business experts for customers and clients of both
organizations.
“For decades, SCORE has played a key role in
educating and empowering innovators and entrepreneurs to meet their
full potential through access to educational forums and mentoring
programs. Partnering with this important nonprofit will ensure that
aspiring small business owners can leverage the educational
resources of SCORE as well as the networks and practical expertise
of HSN and its affiliate organizations,” said Bill Brand, HSN
President. “HSN looks forward to working with the talented experts
at SCORE to identify and empower America’s next generation of small
business leaders and innovators through this new partnership.”
In addition to highlighting HSN’s success
stories as a supporter of small business owners, SCORE will work
with HSN to develop new training activities and techniques to reach
its own clients and affiliate organizations, including HSN’s first
ever American Dreams Academy, a two-day educational forum for more
than 125 entrepreneurs from across the East Coast. The Academy is
being held November 16-18 at American University in Washington,
D.C. and will feature workshops and breakout sessions, including
the opportunity for participants to pitch their products to a panel
of experts.
“We are thrilled to partner with HSN to give our
clients access to the expertise and services of a leading small
business creator in the United States,” said W. Kenneth Yancey,
Jr., CEO of the SCORE Association. “This collaboration will allow
our two organizations to share information, resources and business
proficiency in new ways that will elevate and empower existing
small businesses as well as budding entrepreneurs seeking
professional guidance so they can go out on their own.”
