What is First Course?

First Course is an online learning tool for food startups. At the outset, you will be guided through everything you need to know and think about as you get ready to take your first big step to becoming a food entrepreneur.

What is a food entrepreneur? A food entrepreneur is somebody with aspirations of opening a food related business: a restaurant, a butcher shop, a retail store. If you have an idea of opening a food-industry business, you are a food entrepreneur.

If you are a food entrepreneur living and working in Allegheny County, Pennsylvania, you have access to the platform for free by emailing info@newsunrising.org your name, the type of food sector you seek to pursue and your phone number.

How it works

Our learning tool consists of a series of learning modules, each focused on one specific element of your business. Each module will include:

  • a video tutorial from an expert in that specific discipline
  • a lesson about about how to incorporate each skill, and how it will help your business
  • simple testing to help you retain the information you learn

Once you complete First Course, you will have a completed business plan, specific knowledge about an understanding of what opening your business is all about.

Expert advice on getting your business started

Life decisions before starting your business

Before you begin the significant undertaking of starting new business, you must think about a few external factors from your own life and the world around you.

Your business idea might be great, but actual success may be determined by factors outside of the business itself, and maybe even outside of your own control.

While these are definitely not all of the factors, here are a few important things to think about outside of the business itself.
