Wednesday, June 4, 2025
Elk City, Oklahoma
The Oklahoma Grassroots Rural and Ag Business Accelerators program has announced the launch of In the Weeds, a rural development masterclass program for entrepreneurs and business owners across Oklahoma.
In the Weeds is designed for rural entrepreneurs looking to hone and refine their businesses, their innovation pitches and learn more about the numerous Oklahoma-based business resources at their fingertips.
“The Oklahoma Grassroots Rural and Ag Business Accelerators program is honored to be one of the U.S. Treasury’s State Small Business Credit Initiative (SSBCI) Technical Assistance providers,” said Amarie Bartel, OKFB rural economic development coordinator. “Through this program, our team is catalyzed to share more state and federal capital opportunities for rural small businesses. In the Weeds allows us to meet rural small business owners where they are with a wealth of funding opportunities – and the tools to attain said opportunities – to close financial gaps.”
A series of four classes held across the state in eight rural locations throughout 2025 will provide rural entrepreneurs with cutting-edge business resources and the opportunity to develop skills, learn about opportunities and develop business connections with Oklahoma-based program partners.
Participants may attend the program most convenient for them. All classes will be held from 5:30 – 7 p.m. and are free of charge. Dinner will be provided.
