The Hirshberg Entrepreneurship Institute is a high impact three-day boot camp conceived by Gary Hirshberg in 1998, based on his experience leading Stonyfield Farm from its start as a 7-cow operation in 1983 to its current annual sales of nearly $400M.

The 2021 Hirshberg Entrepreneurship Institute (HEI) will be conducted virtually. Join online for three days of highly interactive and intimate networking, storytelling, and problem-solving. Day 1 is dedicated to Financing and Cash Flow, Day 2 will address Telling your Brand Story and E-commerce, and Day 3 brings back the popular Pitch Day for 13 companies pitching for capital with our esteemed panel of investors.   For details and the full schedule, visit the website.

Learn about financing, marketing, organizational challenges, managing change, and the many other challenges fundamental to growing an enterprise. The “case” method approach ensures a practical and grounded “real world” experience. Participants take home a wealth of pragmatic, useful ideas and strategies that can be immediately put to work in a growing enterprise. Hear from industry experts, such as:
