JobsOhio and Lightship Foundation will host a three-day bootcamp in Dayton March 28 – 30 at the 444 Building in Downtown Dayton.  

Based in Cincinnati, Lightship empowers remarkable businesses led by FOC (Founders of Color), LBGTQ+, Women & Innovators with Disabilities. By supporting founders and their teams with the resources every startup needs to thrive, Lightship empowers, uplifts and catalyzes wealth building for ecosystems typically excluded from economic advancement opportunity.

The program includes a thoughtfully constructed curriculum and exercises, including investment deck audit and revision, pitch audit and revision consultation, abbreviated financial audit and guidance, legal guidance, brand audit and workshop, customer insight report, business model canvas, product landing page audit and revision, and more.
