Opportunities and information Abound at Millennial Summit


The 2019 edition of the Millennial Summit at the Chase Center in Wilmington brought together hundreds of young people with a passion to lead and to learn.

The second day of the event focused on entrepreneurship, which included a panel called “I have an idea – now what?” For those who couldn’t be there, here are five key takeaways from the discussion.

  • A great possible strategy is to start a business where there is an existing market and carve a place out for yourself.
  • Entrepreneurship is not a sprint, even “unicorns” take time to grow.
  • Be mindful of what your customers are passionate about. It may not be the same thing as you.
  • Trust your gut, because you won’t always have all the information you would like to make a decision.
  • Test, test and keeping testing – a process that does not have to be expensive to be done well.

During the summit, the Division of Small Business’s team of Regional Business Managers provided coaching services. It was a great opportunity for attendees to have one-on-one conversations about their ideas and aspirations. Staff also interacted with people and gave out literature on state programs in the Exhibition space.
