FOUNDER FOOTNOTES INCUBATOR PROGRAM

EMPOWERING SMALL BUSINESSES TO SCALE AND SUCCEED

The #1 hands-on business incubator program, providing personalized mentorship, resources, and funding to empower underrepresented individuals and minorities, helping their small businesses grow and thrive.

YOUR ROADMAP TO DOUBLING GROWTH AND FUELING LONG-TERM SUCCESS

Are you ready to take your business to the next level? Join a select cohort of business owners for our exclusive Founder Footnotes Incubator Program, launching in the spring of 2025. 

This program is built to dismantle systemic barriers and create opportunities for individuals who have historically been excluded from traditional business support systems, including those without a college degree, people of the Global Majority, LGBTQIA+, people with disabilities, veterans, and members of any other systemically marginalized group.

HELPING ENTREPRENEURS TURN AMBITIONS INTO REALITY

If you have big goals for your business, we’re here to help you make them happen
