Massachusetts-based companies may be eligible for 100% reimbursement of the program cost through the state’s Workforce Training Fund Express Program. The Leading Cities team walks participants through the application, which takes about 15 minutes.
Virtual sessions are 2 hours long per week. Beyond the curriculum, participants join a community of 100+ startups from around the world, with direct connections to Leading Cities’ network of cities and investors. They’re also a partner of Prince William’s Earthshot Prize — meaning participants are eligible for nomination and the chance to compete for £1,000,000 in international recognition.
