MANDEVILLE, La – Chris Masingill, CEO of St. Tammany Corporation, has announced that applications for the spring 2023 IDEAinstitute Northshore cohort are now open. Through April 12th, STartUP Northshore and the Idea Village will be accepting applications for the 10-week accelerator program, which is set to begin April 17.
In 2022, St. Tammany Corporation and the Idea Village announced the establishment of a strategic partnership, anchored by the launch of the IDEAinstitute Northshore program. IDEAinstitute is an idea-stage accelerator program that introduces innovative entrepreneurs and potential startup founders to the tools they need to turn an idea into a scalable venture.
“This partnership with the Idea Village is a key component of our STartUP Northshore initiative that strives to advance our strategic business formation and business retention efforts,” said Masingill. “IDEAinstitute Northshore is a significant opportunity to begin shaping the broader entrepreneurial ecosystem on the Northshore. This partnership is designed to bring specific, technical business development support for entrepreneurs from a nationally recognized leader in the entrepreneurial space directly to our Northshore area businesses.”
The inaugural IDEAinstitute Northshore cohort, which ran from September through November of 2022, welcomed in a group of 16 engaged founders across 14 companies.
