Springboard| What to Expect

What to expect when you apply...

  1. After the Springboard application has been submitted it will be reviewed by the CONNECT team to ensure all qualifications are met and any necessary supporting materials have been collected.
  2. A CONNECT staff member or Entrepreneur in Residence will contact you to schedule an initial meeting. The purpose of the meeting is to assess whether Springboard is appropriate for the company and how CONNECT can best help the company meet its goals.
  3. Once a company is accepted into the program the 3 to 5 months of coaching will begin.
  4. If appropriate, the CONNECT team will convene a panel of experts to provide feedback to the entrepreneur.
