About The Program
The Launch Academy guides participants through the 17 foundational steps of business building.
The program includes...customer discovery, business model canvas, naming, licensing & permits, banking & credit card set-up, record keeping, entity set-up, tax set-up, pricing, branding, marketing plan, online presence, contracts, insurance, team, systems & organization, financial projections, and one-page business plan.
Each week participants will complete 2-3 steps of the launch process and will be required to submit checkpoint questions before moving to the next step. The capstone will require each participant to create a one-page business plan and a polished elevator pitch.
The cohort meets with the facilitator, via Zoom, for two hours of classroom time each week. This time will be used to brainstorm ideas, receive feedback, leverage guest experts, and build a community among the participants.
