STartUP Northshore is pleased to announce that applications for the Fall 2023 IDEAinstitute Northshore cohort are now open to entrepreneurs across St. Tammany, Tangipahoa, and Washington parishes.
From now until August 25, STartUP Northshore and The Idea Village will be accepting applications for the 10-week accelerator program, which is set to begin on the week of September 4.
IDEAinstitute Northshore is an idea-stage accelerator program that introduces innovative entrepreneurs to the tools they need to turn an idea into a scalable venture.
The program is led by Dr. Felipe Massa, Associate Professor and Grossman Endowed Chair of Entrepreneurship at the University of Vermont, and brought to the Northshore in collaboration between STartUP Northshore and The Idea Village.
Founders will walk away from the program with a plan to build a business following the Lean Startup Methodology, and they will meet a community of like-minded founders along the way.
This 10-week program is run in a hybrid format, with each week’s session running virtually with opportunities to engage in person at local events throughout the program.
The IDEAinstitute Northshore program has had a significant impact on the local entrepreneurial ecosystem, serving 38 founders from 36 startups and providing 66 hours of coaching and guidance valued at $16,500, equipping founders with the knowledge to thrive.
