A Message from the Director
Happy Fall Y'all!
Application for the EPIC VentureWomen Program, launched earlier this month, is now closed. Evaluation is currently underway. We can't wait to announce the successful candidates early October. Stay tuned!
As one program closes, the other just opens up.
The EPIC Founders Accelerating 2020s Program has officially launched this week. This edition of the long-running EPIC Founders Program is specifically designed for startups and early stage businesses that are ready to take their innovative ideas to market. We understand that this new economy needs innovative thinking to solve problems arising in our community, especially the pandemic. This program is launched to help startups bring solutions that will help accelerate our economy in the next decade.
We have more exciting news and programs coming in October that we can't wait to share with you. Follow us on our social media to make sure you'll hear it as soon as it's announced.
Finally, thanksgiving is just around the corner. We at EPICentre wish you a warm and happy thanksgiving!
