First, a little about who we are

We are a non-profit organization aimed at helping the entrepreneurs of “Main Street America” take their business idea and scale it to achieve their dreams. We believe the most entrepreneurs are everyday people working jobs, starting a small business, or working a side hustle but don’t know where to start with their idea or don’t understand why they don’t have customers or are struggling with growth.

How we can help you achieve your goals

Did you know, 95% of businesses fail within 5 years. The number one reason why businesses fail is because they are building something that no-one wants. Over 57% of the businesses using our process have overcome failure and acquired funding or achieved exponential growth within one year. We are a non-profit entrepreneurship organization helping the entrepreneurs of “Main Street America” take their product or service idea and scale it to achieve their dreams.
