.…writing on LinkedIn about the City of Fort Worth’s “Guide to Starting a Small Business” webpage, which directs small business owners to local resources.
Cushman is a big proselytizer for following your startup dreams. “And that process just keeps getting better, faster, and easier in Fort Worth!” he adds in a LinkedIn post.
The HSC innovation VP then links to a post from the City of Fort Worth Economic Development office about a new web-based information offering for startups.
