“If I didn’t do this, my business would still be in my head. It would just be in my head as an idea that I want to get off the ground, something I would get to ‘at some point’. Having a community of support when doing something new was exactly what I needed and more.”

"Having tried entrepreneurship on my own and now having gone thorough the 1909 accelerator, I can say with 100% certainty that having this community, these tools, and resources is a massive advantage."

“1909 has been a game-changer for my business in a region with limited startup resources. It helped me grow my network, find great employees, and access the funds needed to succeed. Despite not being in a big startup city like Miami or San Francisco, 1909's guidance has been crucial in focusing my company and reaching profitability. In short, 1909's support has been transformative for both my business and myself as an entrepreneur.”

“We owe 1909 so much! 1909 has given us reason to continue our mission and help us understand what our business means to the City of West Palm Beach. Thank you 1909 for making us better individuals and making us really, really work to make this business successful!!”

“Without this programming, I would have plateaued this year with my business earnings and potential. The program gave me the accountability I needed in order to propel myself and my business to the next level.”

“This program was an incredible experience! It brought me the structure and support I needed to launch my community and start growing it in a meaningful way. And, I made some great friends in the cohort who helped me along and kept me accountable.”
