Program

5-Day Bootcamp

Participants in our program are CEOs and leaders of their companies, so you'll heavily focus on getting clarity, making decisions and setting direction for others. We DO NOT focus on helping you become an expert in areas of your business that are not required of you as CEO (i.e. branding). Instead, we help you strategize, communicate, articulate your vision, seek support and give clear instruction to service providers. 

Participants must commit to 5 full days of bootcamp style, IN PERSON completion of business basics work sessions focusing on building a strong business foundation. Each day is designed to provide direction and support execution of daily deliverables.

But First Financials

One of the primary reasons Black women owned businesses fail is related to finances. But not for you! We're spending a full day dedicated to how you will make money, setting up your financial statements and getting clear about how you will finance your new business. 


What you'll complete...

  • A Business Model Canvas

  • Cash Flow Statement, Income Statement and Balance Sheet

  • Business Funding Plan
