Congratulations to the fourteenth Cleveland-based cohort of our Small Business Impact Program.<\/p>\n

The program will culminate in a demo day-style competition on May 18, 2022<\/a>, where program participants will pitch their business to a panel of judges. The grand prize pitch will take home $10,000, and each of the other participants will receive $2,500 to help grow their businesses.<\/p>\n
