What you will learn in this program?

The six-week Creatives Indigenous accelerator program offers Indigenous entrepreneurs a rigorous exploration and application of topics, including business opportunity analysis, business model development, leadership and team building, managing cash flows, and more.

01.

The Problem

We hone in on the “problem” you hope to solve with your business idea. What creates the problem? How–and who–do you know would pay you to solve this “problem?”

02.

The Solution

We analyze your “solution” or your product or service you plan on selling to customers in a business model. How much do you sell your “solution” to customers for?  

03.

Customers

Yes, customers are always a business’s priority. But how do you acquire customers AND keep them coming back for more without spending a ton of money?

04.

Business Model

A business model is your plan for making a profit. In this module, we will help you develop a business model specific to you and your life! 

05.

Cash Flow is Key

We show you how to price your business–the products or services you plan on selling. We also teach helpful ways to make sure you’re making money, not spending it.

06.

Pitch Your Biz!

The program culminates with a tailored pitch for your business. Yes, we’ll show you how to deliver your business pitch flawlessly!

What Participants Say

“Not only did I gain new skills to help build the foundation of my small business Underscore Leather, but I also gained a community cohort that together we all built throughout the program.”
SARAH BAIZ, OWNER OF UNDERSCORE LEATHER
“The Creative Indigenous Innovation Challenge has taught me more in a few weeks than 4-years in college. I have a BA in business but still didn’t have the tools/knowledge to start my business. This program is truly life-changing!”
AUTUMN JADE FITCH, ENTREPRENEUR
