Frequently Asked Questions
The Eligibility criteria can be found above. We seek business owners who demonstrate resilience and focus.
The LIFT Better with Money program is 100% virtual, and can be accessed conveniently. We don’t want to take you away from your day-to-day business!
Zero. Zilch. Nada! The program is completely free to apply to and participate in...but it’ll cost you time! It is super intensive, so prepare to commit your time, thinking hats, and energy!
The program will run for three weeks, with two 2-hour weekly live sessions, community events and flexible timing to learn and work on tasks. We are committed to making the program a valuable experience for your business and we expect the same level of commitment from you.
Besides live sessions, we provide a learning workbook, additional articles and resources, case studies, and community interaction.
The program is free of charge and there are no strings attached. However, the more engaged you are during the program, the better the outcome for your business.
Not exactly. The majority of the lessons will be taken in live classes as a cohort, however, you can reflect or read additional resources on your own.
90 days after the Cohort, at Pitch Day, the top 10 program participants (based on predetermined criteria) can access up to 1 million in grants. You can also apply for low-interest loans up to 2 million after the program.
Every participant who completes the cohort receives a certificate of completion. You can print out the certificate or add it to your social media profile — and feel free to tag us when you do!
We will continue to be a support system to you and your business! You will become a member of the LIFT Community which provides you with lifelong access to business support, opportunities, and engagement with fellow business owners.
