NACCE’s Everyday Entrepreneur Program helps you develop your business idea, prepare for a pitch competition, and compete for seed money to help launch or grow your business.

Through American College, you can access coursework, guidance, and resources to strengthen your business and explain how funding could help you move forward, whether that means testing a prototype, reaching customers, or making your first sale.

• Prepare your business: Develop your idea, understand your customers, and work through your business plan.
• Build your pitch: Learn to explain your business and how you would use seed money.
• Compete for funding: Participate in pitch opportunities offered through your college for a chance to receive funding.

Check with your college’s program coordinator for competition dates, eligibility, and funding requirements. Opportunities depend on your college’s participation level; funding is competitive and not guaranteed.
