Because International is accepting applications for the Pursuit Incubator to help entrepreneurs take their innovative products to the next level.
The Pursuit Incubator is a 10 week online training course accompanied by weekly meetings with an experienced CEO Advisor. The incubator culminates in a pitch event with an opportunity for additional support in the form of long term coaching and mentoring, funding from investors, and exposure to international markets.
What to expect in the Pursuit Incubator:
• Training: Each week is designed to deepen and challenge your thinking around your product and business. The online curriculum covers topics common to startups, illustrated by our experience with our social enterprise startup, The Shoe That Grows.
• Coaching: Entrepreneurs are matched with a CEO Advisor who provides mentorship in the program and beyond.
• Networking: Entrepreneurs network with members of their cohort, Pursuit alumni, and subject matter experts with connections worldwide.
• Funding: They’ve linked entrepreneurs to hundreds of thousands of dollars in funding over the last two years. At the end of the cohort, entrepreneurs have the opportunity to compete in a pitch event for a cash prize.

Who was the Pursuit Incubator created for?
Pursuit was created for early to middle stage entrepreneurs that have product related ideas. Though they’ve helped entrepreneurs with a range of ideas and at different stages, they’re best positioned to work with those who have ideas for physical products and have a prototype with proven market attractiveness.
Who can be a part of Pursuit?
Anyone with an idea for a product that can make a difference in the lives of those around them is encouraged to apply! If you are in a restaurant, entertainment, software, food, or service industry, they encourage you to look into other incubators that are better positioned to assist you.
