Ready to JumpStart Your Biz?

Join Us for a FREE 5-Week Bootcamp Starting October 1st!

Are you ready to take your business to the next level? Whether you’re just starting out or refining your business idea, JumpStart My Biz  is designed to help you accelerate your entrepreneurial journey—and the best part? It’s completely FREE!

This in-person, 5-week bootcampwill be held at the Posner Center for International Development in Denver, CO. Each session is thoughtfully designed to provide you with the essential tools, strategies, and insights to build and grow your business.

Throughout the program, you’ll learn from seasoned small business owners, Tonoa Manuel and Jonathan McMillan, and connect with other like-minded entrepreneurs, gaining invaluable experience and knowledge along the way.

The program begins on Tuesday, October 1st and runs every Tuesday evening through October 29th, from 6:00 PM to 8:30 PM.

Over the course of five weeks, you’ll cultivate an entrepreneurial mindset, develop a complete business model canvas, and leave with a 90-day jumpstart plan. Plus, you’ll receive support to get your business registered and access to resources that will continue to serve you long after the bootcamp ends.

This isn’t just about instruction; it’s about transformation.

Each week, you’ll grow your network, share experiences, and build connections with fellow entrepreneurs, all while learning how to shape your vision into a sustainable business. And to make it even easier for you, dinner is provided weekly.

We want to ensure you can make the most of this opportunity, so please plan to attend all sessions to gain the full benefit of the program. If childcare or eldercare is a concern, simply reach out to Tonoa Manuel at tonoa@ayafoundation.org, and we’ll be happy to accommodate.

The journey begins soon, and we would love for you to be a part of it. Don’t miss your chance to JumpStart Your Biz—it’s time to take action and bring your entrepreneurial dreams to life.

Register today to secure your spot!

We are so grateful to our supporters for making this event possible and can’t wait to see you in person at the Posner Center on October 1st.
