Who is the Business Growth Acceleration Program for?
BGAP is for established founders doing $150K to $3M a year in consulting, coaching, agency, or service businesses. You have clients. You have a reputation. What you don't have yet is a repeatable way to turn your network into revenue you can count on.
This is not a program for brand-new or pre-revenue businesses. Everything here is built for founders who have already proven the model and are ready to grow smarter.
We work closely with women founders and MBE and minority-owned businesses. If you have been certified and watched the contracts go elsewhere, you are exactly who this room is for. The revenue gap between women-owned employer firms and the average men-owned firm sits at 96.4 percent (Wells Fargo, 2024). BGAP exists to help close that gap, starting with the network you already have.
What's inside BGAP?
Our hybrid offering includes virtual sessions to brainstorm and implement practical business ideas + some in person opportunities for connection
Real strategy, real mentorship, and a founder who actually shows up.
-
1:1 executive mentorship You're matched with seasoned corporate executives and exited founders who have already done what you're working toward. Real guidance, matched to your industry and your goals.
-
Live, interactive workshops Where to lean in, where to pivot, how to grow. Working sessions, not lectures you half-watch.
-
AI woven throughout Practical AI for activating relationships and growing your business, taught inside the program. No becoming a prompt engineer to keep up.
-
A cohort at your level. You grow alongside a room of established founders who hold each other accountable and open doors for each other. Less lonely at the top.
-
Dina in the room. Dina Finta leads every cohort personally. She is on the calls, she gives real feedback, she knows your business by name. This is the part most programs can't promise and won't.
-
A graduation that opens doors. You finish by presenting your growth plan to the room. That moment is what led one founder straight into a corporate partnership. Her story is below.
-
A path that keeps going. BGAP graduates move into Momentum Circle, our ongoing membership, so the momentum you build doesn't stop when the cohort ends.
-
The commitment: about five hours a month. Built to fit a founder who is already running a business, not add a second job.
The Track Record
BGAP has run every year for more than 15 years. Founders across our programs have generated more than $1.8B in revenue. And the companies that fund the seats are names you know. Partners have included AT&T, Chevron, Salesforce, Meta, United Airlines, Robert Half, and the Golden State Warriors.
"Presenting at the program graduation marked a major milestone in my business journey. Soon after, I was invited by the CEO of a significant organization to explore a potential partnership — an opportunity made possible by the clarity, strategy, and confidence I developed along the way. This experience has truly elevated my business and opened doors for meaningful collaboration."
— Yolanda, Founder, 5 Star Insurance
Why it cost you nothing
Accepted founders join BGAP at no cost. Our corporate partners fund the seats, because investing in the growth of local founders is real, reportable community impact for them.
Here is what that means for you. You are not the product. There is no hidden upsell waiting at the end, no $15K mastermind you get funneled into.
You apply, and if it's a fit, you're in.
for corporate sponsors:
If your company holds a community-investment or supplier-diversity budget and a mandate to show local impact, BGAP turns that budget into documented founder growth, a community-impact story, and recognition as the company that made it possible.
Past partners include AT&T, Chevron, Salesforce, and Meta.
