This is the start of something awesome.
Groundswell is building an ecosystem of resources and relationships to support Space Coast founders. Our first formal program, SurgeUp, is a small part of that network of resources. Made possible by the Space Coast EDC, SurgeUp is a 5 week program set to debut in October 2019.
Have an idea, but don't know where to start? SurgeUp is a 5-week bootcamp based on the Kaufmann FastTrac Curriculum. The program features roundtable discussions, guest speakers, one-on-one mentorship and tons of resources and practical workshops.
Join the SurgeUp Cohort of October 2019
Get custom-tailored support and programming based on the needs of your team and the industries of your cohort. This five week program will help you polish your business model, build a pitch deck and will end with a public pitch practice. Registration fee per team of up to three cofounders is $99.
