Scale Up Milwaukee‘s ninth cohort of the SPARC accelerator program is now underway.
The program, presented in collaboration with the African American Chamber of Commerce of Wisconsin (AACCWI) and Wisconsin Women’s Business Initiative Corporation (WWBIC), provides business education and mentorship to BIPOC and women-owned businesses with annual revenue between $25,000 and $1 million.
SPARC is held virtually over 10 weeks in the Spring and the Fall. The fee for SPARC is $500 and includes Scale Up Milwaukee Membership during the length of SPARC.
SPARC has had 167 companies complete the accelerator since it launched in 2017. Collectively, those companies have increased their average revenue by 36%.
