ACCELERATE FOR GROWTH
FOUR MONTH PROGRAM
ACCELERATE FOR GROWTH (A4G)
After being in business for a while, it’s time to think about how to scale your business. A4G is our more advanced, 4-month program that helps you take a close look at five areas of your business: management, operations, sales, financials, and marketing.
The course material is taught by industry experts, and you will learn alongside a tight-knit group of fellow founders. Like G2M, all cohort participants are paired with mentors who provide additional support and insight.
A4G is often the next step for G2M graduates (but G2M is not required), and is a great fit for businesses further along in their growth.
Our A4G program is offered once a year at our office, Wednesdays from 9:00am-2:00pm.
APPLICATIONS OPEN: May 3, 2024
