We're excited to present the incredible cohort of the 2024 BGV NextGen Student Visionaries! These outstanding students, all hailing from Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs), are not only dreamers but also doers.
Over the next eight weeks, this talented group will immerse themselves in the world of entrepreneurship through the BGV NextGen program. This rigorous accelerator program will provide them with the skills and knowledge they need to transform their innovative ideas into successful businesses. With industry expert guidance and a carefully designed curriculum, they'll be equipped to not only launch but also expand and enhance their ventures, all with the aim of making a significant impact in their communities and beyond.
But the journey doesn't stop there! The top seven student visionaries will have the chance to take center stage at the BGV NextGen Pitch Competition. This high-stakes competition will give them the opportunity to secure additional funding to propel their businesses to even greater heights.
So, get ready to be inspired by the ingenuity, dedication, and boundless potential of the 2024 BGV NextGen Student Visionaries, who are set to shape the future of entrepreneurship!
