BOOST Is Coming Back This Fall – Applications Now Open

BOOST is taking a short pause this spring as we complete a major redesign of the program. Rather than running the upcoming cohort as originally planned, we’ve made the decision to relaunch BOOST in Fall 2026 with a stronger, more focused structure that better supports social enterprises rooted in Detroit and the surrounding region.

This update is based on what we’ve learned from past cohorts: what worked, what felt heavy, and where participants made the most real progress. The result is a program that is more practical, more hands-on, and easier to commit to while still running a business. 

What’s New in the Redesigned BOOST

The new BOOST is a 5-week intensive, meeting on Saturdays. Each session blends short instruction with guided work time so participants leave each class having actually built something, not just talked about it.

Key changes include:

• A shorter, clearer timeline (5 Saturdays instead of a long multi-month program)

• In-class work time with structured worksheets and peer feedback

• Practical focus on pricing, cash flow, customers, systems, and impact

• Weekly “micro-goals” so progress happens during the session, not later

• Stronger peer learning and accountability within the cohort

By the end of the program, participants will have a clearer business model, better financial visibility, a simple operating system, and a concise pitch they can actually use.
