Emerging Entrepreneurs Have the Chance to Gain Capital and Resources to Launch Their Ventures
The NextStart community is looking for innovative entrepreneurs dedicated to creating a successful business but lack the experience, connections, and money necessary to start their venture. The NextStart program offers participants the advantage of up to $10,000 in seed money combined with an intense entrepreneurially focused twelve-week summer program that encompasses mentoring in addition to various learning opportunities, resources, and assistance.
Upon graduating the program, participants are expected to use these lessons and their newly expanded network to advance their business plans. NextStart will also provide participants the opportunity to pitch their company to an audience of qualified investors for additional funding at the end of the program.
