How long has your business been operating?
Eligibility questions.
What revenue band qualifies?
Our core band is $500K–$2M in annual revenue (Beyond the Million™). The Beyond the Middle™ intensive serves businesses from $1M to $10M. If you're near a boundary, the advisory board assesses eligibility holistically.
What's the time commitment?
Twelve weeks of weekly virtual sessions designed for busy CEOs and owners, plus the culminating Capital Matchmaking event. Post-program support continues for up to 9 months.
Does my business need to be in Birmingham or Richmond?
Programs currently serve businesses headquartered in the greater metropolitan areas of Birmingham, AL and Richmond, VA. Join the newsletter to hear when we launch in new cities.
What kinds of businesses are a fit?
Overlooked, undercapitalized owner-operated businesses with traction — often in essential industries like manufacturing, transportation and logistics, construction, and business services. We're not a fit for early-stage startups or lifestyle businesses.
How are cohorts selected?
Each cohort of 12 is selected from 55–63+ applications in conjunction with a local advisory board, following a Capital Readiness Event.
