The Department of Commerce's Economic Development Administration awarded a $1.49 million project grant to Nova Southeastern University under the BUILD TO SCALE federal grant program. The funding will support Nova Southeastern's Founder's Journey initiative to deliver entrepreneurship acceleration services to early-stage and startup companies in targeted industries in Broward County, Florida through 2024.
Specifically, the Founder's Journey comprises four pillar programs - Ideate, Incubate, Accelerate, and Post-Accelerate - ranging from four to sixteen weeks in length. The programs will focus on Broward County's defined targeted industries of aviation/aerospace, financial services, global logistics, headquarters, life sciences, manufacturing, marine industries, and technology. The grant funds will be used to secure program facilitators and provide legal, marketing, finance, accounting and other wrap-around services to participants, as well as fund personnel to oversee the initiative. The goal is to stimulate new technology-based business creation and scaling in Broward County's innovation ecosystem through this entrepreneurship acceleration programming.
