Frequently asked questions

What exactly is Elevate™?
Elevate is a 12-month growth experience that combines a 1-on-1 strategy roadmap, weekly founder meet-ups, peer community, and support on AI & automation to help early-stage and stuck-stage founders build their business.
Is Elevate™ right for me if I’m just starting out or haven’t made money yet?
Yes. We work with founders at all stages, including brand-new businesses. What matters most is your commitment to showing up and taking action. Some founders already have traction, others are building from scratch... but all are ready to grow.
Do I need to live in Nebraska to join Elevate™?
No. While Elevate™ began in Nebraska and some plans include access to our physical workspace in Kearney, the core program works great remotely. Founders from any location are welcome.
Do I need to be tech-savvy to join?
No. You don’t need to be techy; just willing & ready to learn! We guide you step-by-step through tools like AI and no-code systems, using simple, practical language. You’ll get hands-on support during onboarding and throughout the program.
How much time should I expect to commit each week?
Plan for about 2 hours per week. That includes a 90-minute cohort call, filling out your weekly report, and light engagement in the community. It’s designed to fit into a busy founder’s schedule while still driving meaningful progress.
What happens if I miss a few meetings?
We understand life happens. If you occasionally miss a meeting, that’s okay. But if you regularly don’t show up or disengage from your group, we may ask you to step back so others aren’t impacted.
Can I try Elevate™ before I fully commit?
We don’t offer a full trial, but after an intro call with our team, you may be invited to sit in on a session. If you do join and realize in the first 30 days it’s not a good fit, we’ll work with you on a respectful exit plan.
How do scholarships work?
Elevate scholarships help cover your membership cost gradually over your first year. During months 1 through 4, your full tuition is covered. In months 5 through 8, you pay 33% of the plan’s regular price. In months 9 through 12, you pay 66%. After your first year, if you choose to continue, you transition into a full-paying membership. Scholarships are currently only available to founders based in Nebraska.
