Opportunity for Second Stage Entrepreneurs
If your business is established and generating revenue between $1M and $50M, you are what’s called a second-stage business and you may be facing new challenges around leadership systems and scaling, making continued growth difficult. Second-stage companies are at a pivotal point where effective management and strategic planning can significantly impact their long-term success.
The Growth Diversity Leadership Program is designed to support businesses led by People of Color with tailored resources, mentorship, and a supportive network to address their unique challenges.
What’s included:
✔️ A three-day leadership retreat in Cassopolis, Michigan (April 14-16, 2026) focused on strengthening management and leadership skills
✔️ Monthly virtual roundtables with fellow business owners to share challenges and solutions
✔️ Access to experienced business experts through the System for Integrated Growth® (SIG)
This is an opportunity to step back, build your leadership capacity, and connect with others who understand what it takes to continue to scale up.
This program is fully funded by Burton D. Morgan Foundation and Edward Lowe Foundation, with no cost to participants.
Spots are limited. To learn more, contact Michal Marcus, mmarcus@bdmorganfdn.org
