Shipley Center for Innovation

We're absolutely thrilled to be kicking off a MASSIVE support network for 400 entrepreneurs in Upstate New York. Upstate Founders brings together entrepreneurs to collaborate via exclusive masterminds for nine months. These masterminds will give them access to groups of founders, like them, with whom they'll work together on accountability, problem-solving, and growth. Participants will also have access to incredible online courses in entrepreneurship (non-credit) from Clarkson University. Over 30 partner organizations will give these participants access to resources like funding, mentoring, and so much more. Participants will also get a Professional Certificate of Completion at the end of the program. This is a one-time offer as a post-COVID effort to support our economy, fully paid for by a grant from NY State (a value of $7,500!). The program has limited spots and is getting full quickly - so don't wait to apply! >> Apply here: https://lnkd.in/g56NVDB5 Make 2023 your business success year!
