Yes and no. This program will give you a great look "under the hood" of an impact-driven business structure, opportunities to create impact through your future business, and things to keep in mind as you launch your venture.
However, if you're ready to dive into actually launching your venture, building your product or service, identifying a sustainable business model, or selling to customers, check out an upcoming 2-Day Launch Camp instead or in addition to this program.
