PROGRAM

Goldman Sachs 10,000 Small Businesses is designed for business owners who have a business poised for growth and/or a timely pivot! In addition to driving business growth, this free educational program increases job creation and drives the business owner to work strategically on their business and not work "in" their business. Business owners gain practical business skills that can immediately be put into action. 

It is a 13-week ​course, spread over three months, now being facilitated virtually. A network of support will be created for participants in the form of subject matter experts, powerful peer learning, networking opportunities, alumni services, and access to capital.
