Congratulations to the inaugural SPARK PLUS cohort!

We were proud to develop this six-week program at Create Campaign, Inc. alongside educators, successful business owners and business leaders who brought expertise, experience and real-world perspective to the table.

SPARK PLUS was designed to help entrepreneurs think beyond the day-to-day, make smarter business decisions, understand their markets and competitors, and build with growth in mind.

And this cohort showed up. We achieved a 100% graduation rate, a testament to these entrepreneurs’ commitment to continued business education and the goals they established for their businesses, earning their SPARK PLUS Mastery Badge.

Thank you to our Founder, Board, curriculum writing team and sponsors for investing in the entrepreneurs who participated in SPARK PLUS and helping us bring this one-of-a-kind skill-building and business development program to life this year.

A special thank you to Robin Sagamang of Adeas Printing and Byron McSwain of Greater Grounds Coffee & Co for serving as virtual PLUS mentors and openly sharing the lessons they’ve learned along their own entrepreneurial journeys.

We’re also grateful to Founders’ Grove, Wichita State University Community Engagement Institute, and Occidental Management, Inc for serving as facility hosts and helping create spaces where entrepreneurs could learn, connect and grow.

And perhaps our biggest thank you goes to the entrepreneurs who trusted us, showed up and committed to the experience. Your dedication is what made SPARK PLUS possible.

SPARK PLUS returns next year.

Session One? Officially sparked. ✨💙

We kicked things off by putting our entrepreneurs in the spotlight—literally. 📸 Every Spark participant got a professional headshot taken, courtesy of , capturing the face behind the visions. ✨

After fueling up on a potato bar provided by Charcutistry, we got down to business!

Our entrepreneurs explored who they are, what they’re building, and how to communicate what they offer. They practiced articulating their vision clearly and confidently while learning to see their businesses through a lender’s lens. 🔍

Professional headshots + real business skills = one Spark-filled night. 🔥
