Both programs provide tailored training, expert guidance, and actionable strategies to support innovation and economic success.
Our 6-week Investor Readiness Bootcamp equips small businesses with the tools to secure funding, culminating in a live presentation to professionals from various agencies. Topics include refining your problem-solution statement, identifying markets and investors, and perfecting your pitch.
