Potawatomi Ventures launches Bwadwét Innovation Community to empower the next generation of Indigenous entrepreneurs!

Bwadwét Innovation Community invites Indigenous entrepreneurs into a community of resources, mentorship and cultural grounding, marking a significant step forward in strengthening Indigenous entrepreneurship among Forest County Potawatomi Community tribal members and across Indian Country. Created to fill a critical gap, the community provides the tools, mentorship and culturally grounded support needed to turn strong ideas into thriving businesses.

Bwadwét Innovation Community will host two cohorts annually for a 15-week session where participants receive personalized guidance based on where they are in the entrepreneurial journey integrating business fundamentals with Indigenous ways of knowing and will feature expert guest speakers and community-building activities.

“What began as a spark — an idea to help tribal members step into business ownership — is growing into a movement designed to transform the future of Indigenous entrepreneurship,” said Alexis Harris, Director of Bwadwét Innovation Community. “At its core, the Bwadwét Innovation Community exists to uplift Indigenous innovators and ensure they don’t have to build alone. We are creating an opportunity rooted in culture, connection and resilience and we are excited to deliver a supportive ecosystem empowering Indigenous entrepreneurs at every stage of their journey.”
