Grant Cohort Program
5 Founders. 5 Mentors. 5 Weeks. $5,000.
We invite Black founders in Knoxville to apply to be a member of our 100Knoxville Grant Cohort. Accepted founders are paired with an all-star mentor that brings business experience and expertise. Each company will embark on a 5-week sprint to clarify strategy, improve operations, and, most importantly, increase sales. At the completion of the cohort program, each company is granted $5,000 to invest at the direction of the entrepreneur with the support of their team of mentors.

It all begins with an idea. Maybe you want to launch a business. Maybe you want to turn a hobby into something more.
