SEED SPOT

We are on a mission to support traditionally underrepresented entrepreneurs creating solutions that improve lives or make the world a better place.

About

The Impact Accelerator is eight weeks of expert training, quick-start tools, and personalized coaching to achieve tremendous leaps of growth in a short period of time. Key outcomes are revenue growth and investment readiness. The virtual Accelerator runs from October 23rd through December 15th, 2023. 

Participants gain a lifetime of alumni benefits, stay connected with accomplished industry leaders, fellow impact-driven entrepreneurs, and continue to receive personalized SEED SPOT support.

  • Join a community of like-minded peers, leverage a national network of alumni and mentors, receive tailored feedback from a team of SEED SPOT experts committed to your success, and connect with potential partners.

The commitment for the virtual Impact Accelerator is 7-10 hours weekly over the course of eight weeks.
