Broward College Entrepreneurship Experience (BCEx) Accelerator Cohort 7 (Spring 2024-2) Application
The Lean Launchpad Accelerator (phase II) is our student-friendly business accelerator where students, faculty, staff and community will have the opportunity to test your idea and get what you need to go to market over an interactive 10-12 week program. Successful graduates will compete to earn the right to pitch to the J. David Armstrong Student Venture Fund for awards, receive no cost business related awards, or recognition.

Applications are being reviewed on a rolling basis. The upcoming cohort will be competitively capped at just 20 participants so act fast. Submit your application and a teammate will follow-up with you about next steps.

This program will run online via Zoom every Thursday evening from February 8th, 2024 through May 2nd, 2024, for 3 hours (5-8pm). Attendance is mandatory. Business research will be required outside the weekly accelerator meetings. This program generally requires a registration fee but we are offering this cohort FREE OF CHARGE to Broward College students.
