On Monday, May 23rd, Broward College President J. David Armstrong Jr. announced the launch of its business accelerator to local elected officials, community partners and the business community, during a cocktail reception and networking event. The business accelerator, located at the downtown Fort Lauderdale campus on Las Olas Boulevard, will help businesses launch their products or ideas to market by preparing them for venture capital funding.
The Business Accelerator will offer business development programs from CareerSource Broward and others will partner with Broward College to create programming and provide mentorship and contacts to businesses across the South Florida corporate landscape. Curriculum will cover everything from coding and marketing to accounting and human resources, while the collaborative environment will foster the exchange of best practices and ideas across ventures.
For more information on the business accelerator, please contact Don Cook, executive director of marketing at (954) 201-7238 or dcook@broward.edu.
