The Wyoming SBDC Network offers business expertise to help Wyoming residents think about, launch, grow, reinvent or exit their business. The Wyoming SBDC Network is hosted by the University of Wyoming with state funds from the Wyoming Business Council and funded, in part, through a cooperative agreement with the U.S. Small Business Administration.
The Small Business Showcase networking event will feature small-business owners in Laramie County. Attendees will hear pitches from local small-business owners and get to know their business neighbors. Only one business per category will be selected so that a variety of industries can be heard. No items may be sold at the event, but businesses can offer discount codes or coupons to attendees.
Overby is the Wyoming SBDC Network’s regional director for Goshen and Laramie counties and has 18 years of experience owning and running small businesses. He is passionate about helping entrepreneurs demystify small businesses and enjoy the journey of business ownership.
