Applications are open NOW through April 10, 2026.
The program kicks off with a 5-day in-person Bootcamp (May 11–15), where participants learn the fundamentals of business development, marketing, financials, and pitching. Throughout the summer, teams continue building their ventures with mentorship, workshops, and guided support — all leading to the opportunity to pitch for $34,000+ in non-dilutive seed funding at the Final Pitch Competition (September 10).
Food and beverage ventures will also have the opportunity to compete for the Michelle Gauthier Emerging Food Entrepreneur Award, which provides $19,000+ in funding and support to one standout venture.
