Programs and Initiatives

BIPOC Restaurant Accelerator Initiative

“Participating in the Next Level Streetwise MBA Program gave me the opportunity to be laser focused on the business side of running my law firm. I made strong connections with business owners in a variety of industries that I may not have ever met otherwise. Most business owners are experts at their particular skill or craft, but not necessarily experts in what it takes to run a business. This program is definitively a game changer.”

– Amanda Jelks – Jelks Law | Nextlevel Graduate, 2017

“Looking back on it, I didn’t know much about business before participating in NextLevel, [It] gave me the foundation I needed. I learned about finances, the need to hire an accountant and attorney, and how to improve my management style. The program was a lifesaver.”

– Walter Lindsey – Unity One East | Nextlevel Graduate

“After completing the NextLevel program my company has doubled in revenue within the first year and has experienced on average 30% growth every year since graduating.”

– Jennifer Hoff – Skye Strategies | Nextlevel Graduate
