Programs & Services
From our mentorship service to accelerative programming for entrepreneurs and innovators, NextGEN has a wealth of resources you can tap into. Explore all the assets NextGEN can connect you with.
NextGEN mentors provide unbiased, conflict-free, practical, and actionable advice on a long-term basis. MIT’s strict code of ethics ensures a safe, trusting environment for our members. Our team-based mentorship program is what our members mention most when they talk about how NextGEN has helped them.
The NextGEN Accelerator is a unique opportunity for Greenville founders to engage with successful, experienced founders in a fun and collaborative environment- at no cost to their business. This program runs twice a year, with 6-10 cohort members for 8 weeks at a time.
Workshops provide routine educational opportunities that are hands on, interactive and help move startups forward on a specified topic with the assistance of a subject matter expert or founder. Workshops will be open to a larger number of clients than growth labs and be formatted as a long, stand alone session.
Growth Labs is a more advanced workshop series- a double-click on what we can cover in only one week of the accelerator and a more personalized approach to learning than sitting in the same room with dozens of your peers.
Growth Labs span 3-4 weeks and are tailored for 4-6 founders at a time so they can spend each session actively working on their business directly with a subject matter expert.
