Exploring business ideas is exciting. But taking those ideas and turning them into a profitable business isn't always easy. At KITE, we're determined to help you streamline your entrepreneurial journey by creating one of the most vital resource lists to help you turn your ideas into a successful business.
If you’ve turned your idea into a dynamic business plan, you may be asking yourself, “Now, how can I launch my business?” By joining our entrepreneurial network on the Startup Space app, you’ll gain valuable tips that will help take your plan from a helpful guide to a successful launch.

Our focus this year is driving impact through community. These stories range from someone who dedicates their time to supporting Kern founders through servant leadership; to a small business owner who sought to increase the value of their business through KITE’s educational webinars; to someone who gained valuable resources from KITE’s Resource Compass. Help us write Kern County’s entrepreneurial story, and be the voice reaching out to fellow founders.
