WHAT WE COVER

FROM THE CLASS

“Grid110 gave Flip4Good a community at a stage when I was still building much of the organization on my own.”

-Erika Brulé, Founder & CEO - Flip4Good, Launchpad 2025

Questions

  • Yes. Companies must be based in LA, with an interest in growing and connecting with the LA ecosystem.

  • Each week consists of about 2 hours of content to be reviewed and completed asynchronously, in addition to weekly 2 hour live sessions led by the Grid110 Team. Along with this, we will also host optional weekly events and office hours to further your learning. Like anything, you get out what you put in. This program is designed to support founders through the entrepreneurial process, while allowing them to focus on running the day-to-day operations of their business. 

  • The program is free for all accepted companies. Companies must go through an application process to be eligible for this program. To add, Grid110 does not take equity in or provide funding to any company.

  • While all members are encouraged to engage with content, a maximum of two co-founders / team members can attend the weekly live sessions.

  • While the primary program sessions will be self-directed online content and virtual zoom sessions, we will plan for some in-person community building opportunities.
