Entrepreneurship Program
Bring your idea and about five hours a week. Leave with a tested business plan, 10 hours of one-on-one coaching, and 3 college credits, free, in English or Spanish.
What it is
The Entrepreneurship Program is Launcher's flagship 14-week course, built around the Plan It! workbook. One class a week, about two hours, with every participant working toward a written, tested business plan.
Alongside class time you get 10 hours of one-on-one coaching, free Stand By Me financial coaching, and materials included at no cost. Classes run in cohorts of 15 to 20, with about 5 hours of outside work expected each week. Graduate and you're eligible for Launcher's Business Lab for continued mentoring.
Fall 2026 cohorts are underway in Wilmington, Dover, and Claymont, and in Spanish in Milford and Georgetown with La Plaza. Applications for the next cohort are open now: apply today or join the interest list and we'll reach out when the next class forms.
