By Anita Campbell

Are you a recent grad with a great business idea, but have no idea how to get started? Or a young entrepreneur looking to take your business to the next level?

On Wednesday, June 24 at noon PDT (California time) Intuit will be hosting a “Young Entrepreneur Cram Session.” In this one-hour online event, you will hear from other young entrepreneurs on how they started their businesses, and what challenges they faced and how they overcame them. You will also be able to ask questions and share your own advice.

Featured panelists include:
Michael Adams, who founded Eddie’s Energy Bars based in Richmond, VT. Eddie’s makes all natural, no preservative energy bars that are locally homemade and community supported. The company was recently named one of Entrepreneur Magazine’s 100 Companies to Watch.

Melissa Baswell, owner of Mountains of the Moon, a Chicago-based sustainable design and apparel organization aimed at creating chic, high-quality eco-friendly clothing. Melissa was also one of the Intuit Small Business United Grant Competition winners.

Kavin Stewart, co-founder and CEO of LOLapps, a provider of easy-to-use tools that allow anyone to create and customize applications on social networks.
