Inwood Student Business Accelerator Program: We are starting the pilot with Alumni. We want to run a 12-week program with core mentors and advisors. The board members are going to fundraise and recruit advisors for the program. We are considering 5 alums. Communication will be sent to them this upcoming week for an interview and application process.
Our lottery was on April 5th. We had a lot of applications, especially for ELLs. We are hopeful to meet all of our numbers.
