CONFIRMATION OF CIC ENTREPRENEUR WORKSHOP APPLICATION

Thank you for submitting your application for our Spring 2024 Entrepreneur Workshop!

What’s next?

Interest Meetings: We will reach out to schedule an interest meeting. The meetings are informal and designed to help you get to know us better and ensure our program is a good fit for you. We’ll go over expectations and dates and answer your questions. We’re also eager to learn more about you and your business idea or existing business. The meetings will be conducted virtually via Google Meet or in person from December 4, 2023, until January 16, 2024.

Survey: When we schedule your interest meeting, we’ll send you a link asking you to complete a pre-interest meeting survey. We ask that you complete it before your scheduled interest meeting. We use this data to understand better where you are with your business or business idea and the areas we can most help you.

Notification: We will notify all applicants about admission into our workshop on January 22, 2024. We often receive more applications than available spots in our program; if we cannot offer you an opportunity to participate, we will have a waitlist in case any seats open before the workshop begins.
