Summary

In this episode of Startup Junkies, hosts Matthew Ward and Victoria welcome Katie Linder-Jesse, the innovative mind behind Small Bay Solutions. Small Bay Solutions supports tenant businesses and aims to drastically reduce the failure rates of small enterprises. Situated in Northwest Arkansas, the facility comprises 33,000 square feet of climate-controlled, new construction units designed to be customizable for various types of businesses.

 

Katie elaborates on how Small Bay Solutions distinguishes itself by regularly surveying its tenants to pinpoint their struggles—be it marketing, logistics, or accounting. Once identified, the facility brings in relevant resources to address these challenges. This hands-on approach helps businesses not just survive but thrive. Small Bay Solutions also engages through active promotion, paid advertising, and networking events, thereby creating a robust support community.

 

Katie advises newcomers to actively engage with this welcoming community in Northwest Arkansas, as genuine connections can pave the way for business growth and success.
