The program describes its selection process as selective. With roughly 7-8 businesses chosen per cohort on average, competition is real but not extreme if you meet the profile.

WHAT IT TAKES

  2. Submit application via the LBA website — 1-3 hours

  3. Participate in the accelerator program to earn the $5,000 completion grant — Duration of program

WORTH KNOWING

The $5,000 is a completion grant, meaning you must finish the accelerator program to receive it — factor in the time commitment of the full program, not just the application.
