Ensuring the Future Includes Everyone: Surthrive to Showcase Third Cohort of Square One Startup School

In February 2020, the socially-driven marketing agency, Surthrive launched Square One Startup School, a training program designed to help pre-product and pre-revenue startup founders validate and transform their ideas into profitable businesses. The goal of the ten-week program was to help founders, regardless of their geographical location or socioeconomic background, gain access to information, resources, and opportunity. The program has been doing that since its inception.

With year one graduates collectively generating over $30K in revenue and well over $100K in equity-efficient capital, Surthrive is ready to showcase its new class of graduates.

Startup Showcase

Surthrive will host a virtual showcase on May 6 to celebrate the graduation of its third cohort of founders. The evening will include live demos, short 3-minute pitches and an expo.

Attendees will also have the opportunity to connect prior to the event through a speed networking session.
