Elevate

Elevate Minority Business Program

Elevate aims to increase capacity for minority-owned businesses by removing obstacles through entrepreneurial mentorship and business education, creating a solid foundation for success.

This is accomplished by equipping participants with strong business fundamentals to tackle obstacles to capacity growth and provides each participant with a 2-year commitment mentoring relationship with a Jandernoa Entrepreneurial Mentoring (opens in new window).

Please stay tuned for information on the 2024 program.

Program Outcomes

• Mentorship: Each participant will be paired with an expert business mentor through the Jandernoa Entrepreneurial mentoring program for a 2-year commitment.
• Capacity Building: Each participant will be exposed to subject matter experts and business best practices that will help owners in developing an action plan for their organization’s continued growth.
• Relationship Building: A key advantage gained by Elevate participants is the actionable relationships that will be forged within the cohort-based program among minority-owned businesses, and other key community stakeholders.
