Our founder Lara Osment just completed the Goldman Sachs 10,000 Small Businesses Program — and we’re bringing the benefits straight to you.
What is the 10,000 Small Businesses Program?
Launched by Goldman Sachs, this prestigious program helps entrepreneurs grow their businesses and create jobs. It’s an intensive, hands-on curriculum built in partnership with Babson College, the nation’s leading school for entrepreneurship.
What it covers:
- Financial strategy & business operations
- Leadership & management development
- Marketing & customer acquisition
- Hiring & building strong teams
- Long-term strategic growth planning
What’s Next? A Week in NYC
On May 21, Lara heads to New York City for the final week of the program to:
- Present her strategic growth plan
- Receive direct coaching from Goldman Sachs leaders and industry experts
- Connect with a national network of business owners and CEOs
It’s an opportunity to sharpen our agency’s vision and build meaningful connections that support our growth — and yours.
A Personal Note from Lara
“This program pushed me to step back from the day-to-day and think deeply about how we grow Good People — not just for our sake, but for the businesses we support. I’m walking away with sharper tools, better systems, and a renewed vision for how to help founders and hiring leaders scale with purpose. I’m excited to bring this energy and insight into every conversation we have with clients moving forward.”
— Lara Osment, Founder, Good People
