🤷 Ask Us Anything
As a new or aspiring entrepreneur, we know you have questions but may not know where to go to get answers.
Participate in Ask Us Anything, your place to get the answers you need about how to get started and thrive as an entrepreneur. Ask any business-related question, for free, and have your question answered by our community’s top entrepreneurs and experts.
Asking a question is easy! Visit okr.video/AMA or click the button above. After that, join us virtually to watch a video presentation of all the questions and answers (or catch it afterwards on our YouTube channel). The date and time of the presentation will be announced soon, so be sure to follow along!
The deadline to ask a question is March 15.
Interested in answering questions? Contact our team.
