Cohorts

Launch Cohort

The Launch Cohort equips aspiring entrepreneurs with the knowledge and practical tools to transform a business idea into a viable business model. Participants first learn to design a business using the Business Model Canvas before expanding their understanding of marketing, finance, funding, and growth strategies. The program culminates in a live pitch competition where participants present their business concepts to community leaders.

This year’s 2026 Launch Cohort starts September 16th and runs through November 25th. We are now registering!

Facilitated Growth Cohort

The Growth Cohort is designed for established entrepreneurs seeking to strengthen operations, improve profitability, and prepare for sustainable growth. Participants use the Business Model Canvas to assess their current business, then they refine strategic operations, strengthen financial management, explore capital opportunities, and develop actionable growth strategies. The program concludes with a Growth Business Showcase where entrepreneurs present their expansion plans to business leaders and community partners.

Registration for our Growth Cohort opens soon. Our next Growth cohort starts spring of 2027!
