Testimonials from past participants:
"I was hoping to learn the structured basics of diving into this new world of entrepreneurship and building business/organizations. I was hoping to learn the 'meat' of what the work entails, and I definitely did. I learned the building blocks of where to start. It's not often I am in learning environment that is so structured, direct, and human centered. It was very refreshing to not be in room that values the self-sacrifice of the hustle mentality.”
“I think the most valuable part of being in the program was the workshop materials and the ability to share our ideas with others members of the cohort for feedback and inspiration.”
