    GrowOK, a free one-day venture assessment workshop designed to help rural and tribal entrepreneurs understand the markets they serve, is coming to Durant and McAlester on July 18-19.

    Presented by i2E, Inc., with support from seven state and federal partners, the GrowOK workshop helps participating entrepreneurs explore the ideal customer segment for their new business concepts.

    The workshop will be held at the Choctaw Nation Headquarters, 1802 Chukka Hina, Durant, OK 74701 on July 18 and at Choctaw Nation Community Building, 3274 Afullota Hina in McAlester on July 19, beginning at 9 a.m. each day.

    Registration is required to attend. Interested businesses or individuals can register at www.growok.org.

    The intensive GrowOK workshop will lead participants to evaluate their customer segments, product/market fit, risks and competition, initial paths to market, ways to reach potential customers and much more.

    GrowOK is ideal for businesses in the concept stage that may not have revenue or customers, as well as more established businesses that are seeking growth.

    The GrowOK program was established to increase the number of successful businesses that create jobs in rural Oklahoma. The workshop is free to tribal citizens and residents of rural Oklahoma with a completed registration form.

    The GrowOK workshop will conclude at 4 p.m., with follow-up activities to be completed by the participating entrepreneurs. Additionally, founders can opt-in to participate in weekly one-on-one meetings to receive individual feedback and direction for their businesses, and receive a recommendation report with next steps for their venture.

    “This class greatly helped us refine our vision and our approach to the market,” said Trevin Cole, a GrowOK alumnus and founder of CliqFlik. “It is greatly helpful to young companies.”

    The Choctaw Nation is a funding partner in the GrowOK workshop, as are the Cherokee Nation, Chickasaw Nation, and the Muscogee (Creek) Nation, along with the Oklahoma Center for the Advancement of Science and Technology (OCAST), the Oklahoma Business Roundtable and the U.S. Economic Development Administration (EDA). Rural Enterprises of Oklahoma, Inc., is a supporting partner.

    “We are elated to be partnering with the Choctaw Nation and our other partners to bring this GrowOK workshop to Durant, McAlester and all of Southeastern Oklahoma,” said Scott Meacham, i2E’s president and CEO. “Ultimately, we see this workshop helping rural Oklahomans and tribal citizens to grow successful ventures and create more jobs in their communities.”
