We meet weekly (once [some weeks twice] in-person or via Zoom) for 12 weeks with assigned homework for a successful launch/re-launch. In-person attendance for onboarding and graduation is required.

$150 for 12-week attendance (scholarships available to many). Free for active duty and veterans.
The learning and participation outcomes of the Program include:
Apply. Interested businesses must fill out an application detailing their experience and objectives.
Send a business plan. Submit your business plan for consideration or business model canvas. It doesn't have to be detailed, a summary will do (1 page).

Receive a decision. The program representatives will notify you of the decision through a phone call or email.
