The Winterville Chamber of Commerce, in partnership with the Town of Winterville and the Pitt Community College Small Business Center, is proud to support rising entrepreneurs through a program designed to help them launch with confidence and clarity: Building Resilient Entrepreneurs in Winterville (BREW).

This program is proudly presented by NCInnovation – The statewide public-private partnership supports and helps commercialize high-potential applied research from North Carolina’s public universities, with the goal to create real-world products, companies, and jobs that drive economic impact across the state.

In the BREW program, participants move through a multi-week cohort experience that includes ten core classes, an introductory kickoff session, and a final graduation showcase. Through hands-on classes, expert-led sessions, one-on-one counseling, and direct access to local mentors, they’ll learn how to build a strong business plan, understand legal and financial requirements, market their brand, and pitch their new concept – all while becoming part of Winterville’s growing entrepreneurial community.

Upon graduation, participants earn a complimentary Winterville Chamber membership and may be eligible to receive assistance exploring applicable grant funding opportunities.
