Join us for the next live, eight-week workshop available in person in Seattle or online via zoom.
Entrepreneurship is self-empowerment for trans and nonbinary people, and is an opportunity to create jobs, incomes, and opportunities for a group that routinely experiences higher levels of discrimination in the workplace as well as the education system that gets them there.
The Renegade Fund is excited to offer “The Entrepreneurship Workshop” – a live workshop that will assist trans and nonbinary entrepreneurs in establishing their own businesses and creating viable, scalable companies. Over the course of eight weeks, participants are offered intensive mentorship and resources, culminating in a live “Shark Tank” event where entrepreneurs can pitch to our panelists for real investment dollars – cash that is ready to be awarded as zero-interest loans among workshop participants. While not every participant will receive funding, all will leave the workshop with a fully developed business plan, pitch deck, and blueprint to get their business up and running.
Sign up for more information or to reserve your spot in our next workshop.
