How ACE Works
The ACE program is more than an entrepreneurship workshop. Through ongoing guidance and support from subject matter experts and members of the business community, participants not only launch new ventures, but they also learn to make them thrive.
The ACE program consists of three primary components:
-
1) Training
A six-week bootcamp that introduces essential business tools and features monthly training forums on specialty topics.
-
2) Mentoring
Seasoned local business professionals provide guidance, advice, and serve as a sounding board to the emerging entrepreneurs.
-
3) One-on-One Consulting
Work with Kennesaw State University students to build websites, bookkeeping systems, marketing materials, social media campaigns, and more
The tuition for the program is $600. Accepted applicants may receive a scholarship of $575. Applicants pay the remaining $25 prior to the start of the bootcamp.
Bootcamp Schedule
Bootcamp will be held from August 10-September 21, 2024 (with a break on Labor Day weekend).
Time:
8:30 AM to 1:00 PM on Saturdays.
Brunch is provided.
