Greater Baltimore Committee announces Bridging the Gap Academy

The Greater Baltimore Committee announces the creation of the new Bridging the Gap Academy, a business accelerator for minority- and women-owned businesses. The academy has two levels – ‘Getting Started’ and ‘Continuing Your Growth.’ Each features a robust four-week program to help minority and women business owners in the Greater Baltimore region. Business owners will participate as a cohort and gain valuable knowledge from an array of talented instructors who will help them start or grow their business.

Each level is limited to 25 new or existing business owners. Selection for the program, which is expected to kickoff this fall, is based on annual revenue, commitment and business experience.
