Facilitated by Hampton Roads SBDC

Join us for a one hour introduction to a new program, Seed Capital Activator, from Bloom Coworking in partnership with the SBDC. This program is a 16-week accelerator designed for established businesses preparing for their next stage of growth. Participants will explore traditional and alternative funding sources, while building the financial foundation to become lender ready. At the end of the cohort, businesses will walk away with a funding plan tailored to their business, as well as a chance for an immediate $1,000 grant at the end of the program.

This meeting will be an intro session to the program, where you can walk away with actionable items you can do right now, as well as an opportunity to apply for the program which begins in January 2027. Programming will run every other Tuesday, with required attendance for a minimum of 6 of the 8 sessions to qualify for the grant funding.

Requirements:

  1. At least $40K in yearly revenue.
  2. 1+ year(s) in business
  3. Business Plan
  4. P&L up to date and willing to submit
  5. Able to commit to session dates running Tuesday mornings in January-April.
