Description
Brief description of this Amendment Questions & Answers RFP - Revised INTRODUCTION Strong, sustainable business is a cornerstone of America's economic success. In May 2018, the National Federation of Independent Business recorded the highest readings in the Small Business Optimism Index. Entrepreneurship is woven into the American identity, yet, many small business owners lack the resources to start and scale their businesses. The Small Business Administration is issuing this Request for Proposal (RFP) to solicit a contractor to address this problem through a proposed e-learning solution for entrepreneurs ready to start and scale their businesses. This initiative will create a modern, e-learning approach, initially targeting women who want to scale their business, then expanding to other entrepreneurs who want to start and grow their business. General online learning resources that are available may lack an experiential learning approach, which is both engaging and encouraging to entrepreneurs, especially women. This initiative will be a first-in-class project, delivering a modern, complete learning experience that includes synchronous and asynchronous learning, networking and peer-to-peer learning components--two of the seven critical domains for supporting women entrepreneurs outlined by the National Women's Business Council (available here ).
