The 10-week Business Accelerator, in partnership with BOI, is designed to help make your business dreams a sustainable reality. During this series, participants learn to define their target market, hone their marketing skills, tighten up their business ideas, create realistic budgets and projections, and more; and prepare to compete for the $2,000 prize at Pitch Fest.

In the SOURCE Dream it - Start it - Grow it Business Accelerator serious entrepreneurs take charge of their business destiny by setting and meeting strategic, financial, marketing, legal, and communication goals. Over the 10-week series, our expert instructors and coaches will guide you on your path while you learn by doing. You will meet and network with successful business owners and experts from banking, finance, marketing, law, and social media. Accelerator participants can get up to 20 hours of free website development features of scheduling and ecommerce functionality through SOURCE partnership with IU School of Informatics COMET Lab. Due to social distancing requirements seating is very limited to the first 10 registrants and will also be available online.

After completing the Business Accelerator Series, all participants have the opportunity to compete in our Pitch Fest. Each contestant has five minutes to impress the judges with their business pitch. One lucky winner receives $2,000 to use toward growing their business.
