FLOYD COUNTY, Va. – Entrepreneurs working to start or expand their business through the Gauntlet business competition are also focusing on giving back to our community.
During their third week of class, participants in the Gauntlet discussed ways their businesses can benefit the community by making social, environmental or equality impacts. Corporate responsibility is a key element in Taproot Botanical Alliance, a Floyd County start-up by David Grimsley, that teaches farmers to diversify their crops by growing medicinal herbs.
