#BuildYourDream

You have the idea but need some help executing, we got you.

 

The #BuildYourDream Initiative is our way of supporting aspiring entrepreneurs in our community.  This initiative will provide mentorship and funding opportunity for those who are looking to build their dream businesses.

We understand that starting a business is tough and there are a lot of logistical hurdles to get through before bringing your idea to life. This is where our expertise comes in!  

Once a year, candidates will have the opportunity to pitch for our #BuildYourDream Acceleration Program. This program will help early stage entrepreneurs start off on the right foot and turn their business dreams into reality. The lucky pitch winner will receive our full Business Starter package, which includes:

  • Entity Incorporation

  • Business Plan

  • Growth Session

  • 6 months of strategy and mentorship sessions

  • Funding Prep

Here’s the criteria to participate:

  • Entrepreneurs must be in the early stages of building their business. This is ideal for those currently operating Side Hustles.

  • Submit preliminary Business Plan or Pitch-Deck

  • Application will be open until August 31st. Candidates must be available to interview between September 1st & 5th. Winners will be selected and notified September 9th.  

This program is our way to help bridge the knowledge gap between founders of color and the resources available to them. We understand that navigating the world of entrepreneurship is challenging and we hope to help alleviate that stress for our lucky winner!

Submit your application here. After submitting, please email a copy of your business plan or pitch-deck to info@osqrd.co. If you have never completed a business plan or pitch deck, check out our BOMB Business Plan blog post.
