The Next Level Business Incubator is for established, Black-owned, small businesses that are ready for growth. The program offers assistance to Black entrepreneurs networking opportunities and experienced entrepreneurs-in-residence (EIRs). EIRs are business owners and advisors who work directly with clients to help navigate the journey of growing a company. These EIRs are the central component to the Next Level program.
Next Level is part of the GROW program at Bounce.
Each client works closely with their EIR to determine their business’s growth strategy, next steps and how to get there. This could include things like getting more customers, increasing revenue, managing business relationships and contracts, or developing marketing strategies.
Next Level clients also meet regularly with the Bounce program manager. The program manager provides added business support and can coordinate needed resources in the Bounce network. This could include facilitating introductions or helping execute on the advice and guidance from their EIR.
Bounce clients have access to a network of resources to help meet the needs of their businesses. Bounce works with service professionals such as lawyers and accountants to supply low-cost services for companies.
Events and topics vary, but our quarterly meetups for Next Level clients generally include presentations by experts and advisors that focus on specific issues important to entrepreneurs at the growth stage. The discussion and meetups will also connect clients to other business owners for networking and collaboration opportunities.
There is no cost to join the Next Level Incubator. However, to be accepted into the program, companies must meet certain criteria and we have two obligations that we ask clients to fulfill:
