At a lively event filled with the familiar faces of the Kalamazoo area’s entrepreneurship community, the newly graduated fourth cohort of the Black Entrepreneur Training Academy (BETA) celebrated their achievements on Nov. 6.
BETA, a collaborative effort between Black Wall Street Kalamazoo and Sisters in Business, is a free five-month, cohort-based program for Black entrepreneurs. Over the course of six virtual modules, students learn entrepreneurial skills from expert facilitators and new graduates participate in a pitch competition for up to $5,500. It’s an ambitious program, and graduates say it’s working.
