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.
Who should apply?
Founders in years 0-5 of a new venture, side-hustlers aiming to go full time, or any entrepreneur earning <$100k who wants structure, accountability, community, and support on systemizing their business. You don’t need an LLC or a pitch deck; just commitment and a willingness to learn.
Do I have to live in Nebraska to join Elevate?
Scholarship funding is reserved for Nebraska-based entrepreneurs (or businesses headquartered here). For those looking to self-fund their Elevate Membership, it doesn't matter which state you live in.
How much does it cost?
The program offers three plans: Founders-Online ($199/month), Hot Desk Access ($299/month), and Private Desk Access ($349/month). Scholarship recipients start at $0 for the first 4 months, with a gradual ramp-up to 33% in months 5–8 and 66% in months 9–12.
Is workspace included?
Workspace is included, unless you opt for Founders Online. The Founders Online option is best for non-Nebraska founders and those who already have an office or brick & mortar business since you won't need physical office space.
What other resources do Elevate founders get?
All Elevate members get access to a private founder community, support with tools and automation, live mentor Q&As (coming soon), and a growing library of community-shared resources (coming soon).
