About this Event
LAUNCH. LEVERAGE. LAND.™ — The Small Business Accelerator

Your business deserves more than a great idea—it needs a strong foundation, smarter tools, and access to real opportunities.

LAUNCH. LEVERAGE. LAND.™: The Small Business Accelerator is a dynamic, action-focused half-day workshop created for aspiring entrepreneurs, new business owners, and small business leaders who are ready to move from idea to income, strategy to success, and opportunity to growth.

In just four powerful hours, participants will explore three critical areas of building and growing a competitive business:


LAUNCH. — Start Strong. Build Smart.

Have a business idea but aren't sure what comes next? Already launched but need to strengthen your foundation?

Learn the essential building blocks of starting and structuring a business for success. We'll explore the fundamentals entrepreneurs need to move beyond simply having an idea and begin building a business that is positioned to grow, generate revenue, and pursue new opportunities.


LEVERAGE. — Work Smarter. Scale Faster.

AI isn't just for big corporations—small businesses can use it too.

Discover practical ways to use Artificial Intelligence (AI) and digital tools to save time, increase productivity, improve marketing and communications, generate content, streamline everyday business functions, and support smarter decision-making.

The goal isn't to replace the entrepreneur—it's to give the entrepreneur better tools.


LAND. — Position. Prepare. Win Contracts.

Your next customer could be the government.

State and local governments purchase millions of dollars in products and services from businesses—and your company could be positioned to compete.

Learn how to begin navigating the world of state and local government contracting, understand procurement opportunities, improve your contract readiness, and position your business to pursue opportunities within the government marketplace.

We'll help take some of the mystery out of government contracting so you can begin asking a different question:

“Why NOT my business?”


Who Should Attend?

This accelerator is designed for:

  • Aspiring entrepreneurs ready to turn an idea into a business
  • New and emerging small business owners
  • Entrepreneurs who want to incorporate AI into their operations
  • Business owners interested in state and local contracting
  • Entrepreneurs looking for practical strategies to strengthen and grow their businesses

This isn't four hours of sitting and listening to information you may never use. Come prepared to learn, think, strategize, and identify actionable next steps for your business.
