Over the last 13 years, you have allowed us to be able to support more than 250 companies through our programming who have gone to create more than 600 jobs and raise more than $220M generating new community wealth.
For the first time, Novella Center for Entrepreneurship is launching a 10-year, $10 million campaign to bring its proven founder-support model to more communities and create lasting economic impact.
The $10M will be activated through operating the accelerator program for another 10 years, running a pre-accelerator program, building the ecosystem, and more.
