Start by grounding your search in who you are and how you want to show up as a future CEO/business owner.

In Session 1, we’ll cover:

  • Who You Are
    Clarify your strengths, values, and non‑negotiables so you can make more intentional decisions about the kind of business, search model, and life you’re aiming for.

  • Who We Are
    Get to know the Hub team and how we support you during (and after) the 90 days.

  • Preparing to Market Yourself
    Begin to think about your own story through the eyes of investors, lenders, and sellers—including how to talk about your background in a way that stands out.

  • Search Methods
    Get an overview of the main EtA paths (traditional, accelerator/incubator/EIR, self‑funded) and how they differ in practice.

  • Guest Conversation
    Hear from a previous cohort member about their choice of search method and what happened next.

By the end of this session, you’ll have:

  • A deeper understanding of your own strengths and identity,

  • Insight into how our team and community can support you,

  • Early strategies for marketing yourself effectively, and

  • A clearer picture of your options for search methods.
