ANNOUNCING START IT UP GEORGIA
We believe entrepreneurship is the greatest mechanism for changing the world. From unemployed people looking to make the leap to entrepreneurship to employed people wanting a new adventure, our mission is to provide FREE training, support, and guidance to all Georgians who want to launch their own business.
Our state is currently facing the highest unemployment rate on record (12%). We created SIUG to help accelerate our economy and help more Georgians launch and own a business and ultimately control their own destiny.
