Build Entrepreneur Education Program Application

Congratulations on joining the Build Entrepreneur Education Program!

Please respond to the following questions to help us provide the necessary support to transform your business idea into a reality and advance to the next stage.

Build Entrepreneur Education Commitment: Participants will receive a SEED Build Entrepreneur Education binder, inclusive of all course materials. Program participants and graduates are required to partake in all follow-up surveys. These surveys are critical for our reporting to the Indiana Economic Development Corporation (IEDC), which supports funding for this program. Furthermore, they enable SEED to offer valuable information and additional resources to the entrepreneurial community.

Successful completion of the Build Entrepreneur Education Program includes:

- Submission of the pre-, mid-, and post-class surveys, along with any additional follow-up surveys.

- Attendance of at least 8 classes, encompassing a total of 24 education hours.

- Completion and submission of your Business Plan for evaluation on subsequent steps.

 Commitment from all parties involved: The success of Build Entrepreneur participants hinges on community building, inclusion, and connection building. Therefore, interactions with Build/SEED facilitators, participants, guest speakers, and staff must be conducted with respect, understanding, and appreciation. This approach ensures that everyone has the maximum opportunity to build a robust community and forge lasting connections for future success. For the safety of all parties, interactions between the class, facilitators, staff, and Build participants must occur virtually or in a public setting.
