Path to Entrepreneurship (P2e) Program

The Path to Entrepreneurship (P2e) Program is designed to directly help low-to-moderate income residents to build financial sustainability through business ownership. Significant portions of Boulder County (including in Longmont, Broomfield and Lafayette) were designated by the state of Colorado this year as Enterprise Zones. Designating these areas is an indicator that the state recognizes parts of Boulder County as economically disadvantaged and in need of government incentive to increase economic activity. P2e is a continuum of outreach, practical education/ programs and technical assistance that helps low-to-moderate income individuals to start up new businesses and to grow existing businesses.
