The Swisher Startup

University of North Florida’s Center for Entrepreneurship & Innovation (CEI)

The Swisher Start Up Growth Cohort for Underrepresented Entrepreneurs supports companies and entrepreneurs in Northeast Florida. In partnership with UNF’s Center of Entrepreneurship & Innovation the Swisher Startup provides a free 8-week program designed specifically to help grow businesses. With field experts and resources, participants will improve their business knowledge and plans.

The top pitches at the conclusion of the program will be awarded funding to help grow their business.

Our goal is to help companies and entrepreneurs from all walks of life overcome challenges faced during early startup years such as securing funding and scaling a business.
