PROGRAM OVERVIEW

The Accelerated Certificate in Innovation and Entrepreneurship is a 12-week immersive business mastery experience designed for emerging entrepreneurs, professionals, and changemakers who are ready to transform ideas into operational businesses. Combining the rigor of a business school education with real-world tools, this Mini-MBA delivers applied learning across the full spectrum of startup design, launch, and scale—without the complexity of theory-heavy academic programs.

The course emphasizes both internal and external development: character, mindset, relationships, and purpose as the foundation, paired with comprehensive business functions such as product development, branding, legal setup, operations, finance, marketing, team building, and funding.

Over 12 weeks and a 1-month launch lab, students build a complete business, from legal registration to launch, and leave with a turnkey Business-in-a-Box enterprise system—fully operational and ready to scale.

PROGRAM BENEFITS

Participants will gain much more than knowledge—they will leave with an actual business. Throughout the course, each student will build a market-tested product or service, formalize their business structure, launch their digital presence, create their funding plan, and build systems for operations, customer management, and financial control.

Key benefits include:

• Clarity of vision and strategy for launching a profitable business

• Confidence to make critical decisions as a startup founder

• Full suite of business tools, templates, and resources

• Coaching and mentoring from seasoned entrepreneurs

• Access to business mentors, peer feedback, and funding leads

• A completed and launched Business-in-a-Box with all core infrastructure

IDEAL AUDIENCE

This program is designed for:

• Aspiring entrepreneurs ready to launch a business

• Early-stage founders who need structure and mentorship

• Professionals transitioning into self-employment or consulting

• Faith-based leaders or community changemakers seeking scalable impact

• High school and college graduates looking for a real-world alternative to traditional business school

Participants do not need prior business experience. A strong desire to launch and the willingness to follow through is what matters most.

COURSE OUTCOMES

Upon completion, participants will:

• Master key business disciplines: strategy, product, operations, marketing, finance, legal, and leadership

• Build and validate a business model using lean startup principles

• Finalize a funding and financial strategy using real tools

• Build systems for operations, hiring, and automation
