Two markets. One repeatable model.
Each cohort follows the same path:
- Twelve businesses selected with a local advisory board
- Twelve weeks of intensive work
- A Capital Matchmaking event with aligned providers
- Up to nine months of post-program support
From application to outcome.
The same repeatable model in both markets: a competitive selection, twelve weeks of intensive work, and a Capital Matchmaking event — turning a wide applicant pool into capital raised and jobs created.

From founders who raised, hired, and grew — and the capital providers who met them at the table.
I have not attended a similar event where the participants were better prepared.
