We meet once a month for full-day and half-day sessions during the year-long program, and our curriculum covers critical topics including:
- Strategic Planning
- Operational Planning
- Marketing

We combine the academic power of the University of Pittsburgh and the real-world lessons of seasoned entrepreneurship to create a hands-on, relevant program. Each session will give you tools and strategies that you can immediately apply to your business
Mentoring Relationships
We discuss your needs and interests to identify an experienced, successful entrepreneur who will serve as a sounding board, advisor and teacher. We create special opportunities for you to develop a strong dialogue with your mentor and provide enough structure to nurture and grow your relationship. You will emerge from the program with a valuable ally and life-long resource in the entrepreneurial community.
