Eligible participants accepted into NMSU Arrowhead Center’s Native American Sprint will get $500 to invest in their business when they complete the program.

The virtual five-week accelerator program aims to give New Mexico-based Native American-owned businesses the resources to grow their enterprise. Participants will get one-on-one support as they develop their Business Model Canvas, which helps them identify customer segments, revenue streams, partnerships, pricing, and value proposition. The program is free and available to Native American entrepreneurs at any business stage.

Upon completion, eligible participants will receive a $500 microgrant investment funded by NMSU Indian Resources Development.

This Sprint is offered by New Mexico State University’s Arrowhead Center, in partnership with the Minority Business Development Agency, a government program dedicated to the growth and global competitiveness of minority business enterprises. The MBDA is an agency under the U.S. Department of Commerce.
