WHIN Academy

From Idea to Impact
in 8 Weeks

WHIN Academy is a hands-on, 8-week entrepreneurial training program designed to guide aspiring innovators through the process of turning an idea into a viable product or service. Modeled after several nationally recognized programs, WHIN Academy blends teamwork, expert mentorship, and practical instruction to help you understand the path of moving from concept to market with confidence.
Participants work in teams led by experienced mentors and engage in customer discovery, market research, and go-to-market strategy development. Each cohort culminates with a final pitch, where teams present their business concepts to a panel of real-world investors, with top teams recognized for their work.
