ScaleUp WNC 2016 Program


Mountain BizWorks and our partners are excited for the third and fourth ScaleUp WNC cohorts.

Cohort Program Dates

Each ScaleUp WNC cohort program includes an opening dinner event, six class-based sessions, a capstone demo day event (optional), and a minimum of 10 hours of one-on-one technical assistance and mentoring to support the implementation of your strategic growth plan.

The tentative dates for the Cohort 3 and 4 sessions follow. ScaleUp WNC program participants are expected to attend all of the sessions for your cohort. The sessions will either be held in a central WNC location (i.e., Asheville) or could move around based on the preferences of the accepted businesses.
