The 800 Initiative is rolling out programs to help minority firms better navigate the COVID-19 Pandemic. For those of you who are rethinking your overall business there is Propel which takes firms through a design process for seeing what adjustments need to be made to your value delivery system and the business and operational capabilities to match.
For those of you who are in the process or about to launch a new product/service, sales and marketing strategy, talent strategy, new customer focus, etc. there is the COVID-19 Sprint Program which is about helping you to design, build, and launch it.
Start Co. is administering the programs with the support of the City of Memphis, Christian Brothers University, and Epicenter. Together we are looking for a total of 30 minority firms to provide assistance to between now and the end of the year. For those who are launching new solutions or have new operational components that need financial support, we are providing select firms support in the form of stipends/grants, etc. to go alongside the program.
Applications for both are open now:
