Last week, we brought together the newest members of NSBA Cohort 8 and alumni from previous cohorts for an evening of connection, collaboration, and community. One of the most powerful parts of the accelerator is the network of entrepreneurs who understand the challenges, opportunities, and realities of building a business.

Our alumni have walked the path, learned lessons along the way, and continue to show up for the next generation of founders, while still navigating the challenges of sustaining their ventures. Our past and current cohort members had the chance to share business insights and resources to build new relationships, making the evening a reminder that entrepreneurship doesn't have to happen in isolation.

Thank you to our NSBA alumni for pouring into this year's cohort and to our Cohort 8 founders for bringing fresh energy, bold ideas, and a willingness to learn.

The future of Eastside entrepreneurship is bright, and we're excited to watch these connections grow into partnerships, opportunities, and lasting impact.
