SEG Now Taking Applications for 2024 Programming
Specialized curriculums offered for entrepreneurs at every stage of development
PROVIDENCE, RI – Social Enterprise Greenhouse (SEG) is now accepting applications for its 2024 programs.The Incubator and Impact Accelerator offer valuable tools, networks, and resources to help entrepreneurs at all levels successfully develop their enterprises.
“Regardless of where an innovator is in their journey, we offer specialized programming to help participants reach their individual goals,” said Julie Owens, Chief Executive Officer of SEG. “Connecting traditionally marginalized entrepreneurs with the resources and knowledge necessary to flourish is paramount to what we do at SEG. I’m proud to continue that work in 2024.”
The Incubator and Incubadora (conducted in Spanish) guide budding entrepreneurs through the basics of launching a social enterprise. Among a variety of fundamental strategies, participants will learn how to craft a mission and vision, map a business model, and the fundamentals of marketing and cost structures.
The Incubator and Incubadora connect participants with expert advisors through independent advising and office hours. Participants also have access to SEG’s hub coworking space during the program and for six weeks after.
The Impact Accelerator is designed for entrepreneurs who have experienced early traction and have established a legal entity for their venture. Through this experience, participants will receive practical tools, gain access to networks and resources to validate their ideas and understand their customers, and formalize growth strategies from fundraising to social impact measurement.
The Impact Accelerator curriculum is led by advisors and experienced social entrepreneurs. Participants will also receive one-on-one coaching with business and community leaders, a network of advisors with industry and functional expertise, and priority access to the SEG Loan Fund.
All program applications close on March 5, 2024.
