The number one need of entrepreneurs is capital - to start, scale, and sustain their businesses but if you aren’t ready with the right documentation and mindset, those dollars can only go so far! Through the Capital Readiness Accelerator, you’ll network with like-minded entrepreneurs and work with an expert consultant to:

• Receive customized business coaching to build your due diligence documentation
• Build a comprehensive financial health plan
• Get the data you need to make business decisions and show that you are capital ready!

The Capital Readiness Accelerator aims to provide action-oriented content focused on underserved communities: mid-level stage founders; primarily women and people of color looking for $50k-$300k in capital to grow their businesses.

The Capital Readiness Accelerator will start in March 2024; participation options include in-person, virtual, and/or hybrid. Learn more about ConnectUP! Institute’s programming for entrepreneurs at https://connectupmn.org/entrepreneurs/.
