About the Boost Camp
Over the course of 12 weeks, you’ll be guided through a curriculum that covers critical elements for business growth including evaluating your business vision and identity, developing strong marketing and sales tactics, and organizing your finances for improved financial health. You’ll also make meaningful connections with fellow visionaries and strengthen your network.
After completing last year’s Boost Camp, 95% of participants reported that they feel more equipped to navigate challenges and opportunities in their industry and 75% said they feel more optimistic about their business growth potential.
