THE FIGHTBACK FELLOWS INCUBATOR
What is an Incubator? Startup incubators are short-term support programs that offer intense mentoring by experts and other resources for a small group of startup companies. These companies are selected through a competitive application process, and enter and exit the program in “cohorts.”
How do you apply? We have a robust selection process that is based on the viability of the business, the commitment and talents of the founder, and the relevance to the most important issues Colorado kids are facing. Our talented board of directors selects the finalists.
Apply to be a Fight Back Fellow by June 15, 2018.
The time is ripe for entrepreneurial approaches to social problems. Government and traditional charities have fallen short and are often viewed as inefficient, ineffective, and unresponsive. Social entrepreneurs are building new models for a brighter future.
At Fight Back Foundation we support great people, with great ideas, solving tough social issues! Maralee Mclean is one of those people, her story is critical to hear. We are excited to support Maralee in a new documentary project to help protect our most at-risk children.
Check out the Indiegogo page to learn more about the documentary and help spread the word!
