Urban Vision Initiative at UTC

Nine entrepreneurs have graduated from a six-week boot camp to stabilize their new businesses or tweak business plans. Now, these entrepreneurs will work with seven student consultants who will guide the entrepreneurs in specific areas, such as web design, cash flow, and marketing.

Our student consultants have trained all of the Fall 2022 semester to be prepared for this semester of work. The entrepreneurs will work directly with the student consultants to optimize their business plans.

Next, we will begin an introductory series for both our entrepreneurs and our student consultants.

UVI is an entrepreneurship program designed to reduce poverty and wealth inequality among Chattanooga’s underserved communities. The Jack and Charolette Frost Family Foundation makes this program possible; covering student pay and other expenses. Nine Entrepreneurs have successfully graduated from the program's intensive six-week Bootcamp.
Next, these entrepreneurs will have the choice to compete for AccelUp's $15,000 grant at a Pitch Competition on March 3rd at Transcard. Transcard has committed to awarding two UVI entrepreneurs this AccelUp grant.

Be sure to follow along and share our posts. The entrepreneurs and our student consultants will be highlighted on our pages so don't miss out.
