The program includes two self-paced virtual modules, an in-person workshop, and personalized guidance from leading strategists and financial analysts.
Businesses can apply online by Jan. 24, 2025. Applications will be reviewed by a selection committee, and successful businesses will gain access to a $1,500 cohort package for a fee of $350.
