Entrepreneurship is on the rise in Hampton Roads and there’s an event to celebrate it.

757 LAUNCH, from 12:30 p.m. to 2 p.m. on March 30 at the Selden Market in Norfolk, will showcase three new resources to support area entrepreneurs and startups.

Those programs are: StartWheel.org, a website that connects entrepreneurs with community resources; 757 Accelerate, an accelerator program that will host its first cohort this fall; and 757 Seed, an early-stage seed fund that will invest capital in potential startups.
