  • Comments Off on Now Accepting Applications: IC Success Cohort Is Open

At Intersect Buffalo, we believe that great businesses are built with the right support, the right tools, and the right community. That belief is at the heart of IC Success, and we’re excited to announce that applications for the next IC Success cohort are now open.

IC Success is designed for startup and growth-stage entrepreneurs who are ready to strengthen their foundation, sharpen their strategy, and grow with intention. This cohort-based program meets entrepreneurs where they are and equips them with practical education, mentorship, and resources that support sustainable business growth.

What Entrepreneurs Can Expect

Participants in IC Success gain access to:

  • Business education focused on real-world application

  • Mentorship from experienced professionals and community leaders

  • Support refining business models and value propositions

  • Pitch preparation and presentation opportunities

  • Connection to a network of entrepreneurs, partners, and resources

The program culminates in Pitch Night, where entrepreneurs present their businesses with confidence, showcasing not just their ideas but the work, preparation, and growth behind them.

IC Success is a core part of Intersect Buffalo’s Empowerment District, grounded in our four pillars: Entrepreneurship, Education, Equity, and Engagement. Our goal is not just to help businesses launch or grow but to ensure entrepreneurs have access to opportunity, visibility, and long-term success.
