Carrying forward Cultivator’s work through shared knowledge, tools, and resources for entrepreneurs.
Cultivator was established to foster innovation, creativity, and entrepreneurship in the Randolph region by connecting businesses, individuals, and aspiring entrepreneurs with resources, learning opportunities, and community support. Through workshops, programs, and partnerships, Cultivator worked to strengthen local businesses and support a dynamic, evolving economy. Cultivator has since closed, concluding its work as an organization.
The Cultivator Resource Library preserves a piece of that work by keeping the workshops, curriculum, and tools developed through the organization accessible to others. Its purpose is to carry forward Cultivator’s commitment to entrepreneurship and small business development by sharing these resources with those looking to learn, strengthen their businesses, and move their ideas forward.
