Because our business environment is constantly changing and our own roles in our companies are always evolving, entrepreneurs who lead businesses need ongoing development if they are going to lead their organizations with excellence. The Birthing of Giants Fellowship Program is designed to provide the toolbox owners of fast-growing companies need to reach their next level of success. In a one-week educational program, our CEO participants will transform into next-generation business leaders.

The one-week curriculum is the result of several rich sources of data, experience, curriculum development, and books and articles.

• Data: Over 1,100 interviews with self-made entrepreneurs over 10 years and in-depth interviews with some of the most successful business founders of our day. Here’s a list of past presenters who have participated in extensive interviews.
• Experience: Our board of experts has built dozens of companies, generating hundreds of millions in revenue and liquidity (wealth creation). In addition, they’ve advised and mentored thousands of entrepreneurs directly over the course of their careers.
• Curriculum and Publishing: Our Board of Experts have developed entrepreneur curriculums for universities and masterminds over the past 20 years. They’ve also published more than 10 books (including Business Brilliant, Street Smarts and Small Giants) and hundreds of articles about business and entrepreneurship for magazines like Inc. Magazine.

The program is designed for the “owner and operator” of fast-growing, privately-held companies. The program does not focus on any particular industry or sector. It’s suited to those in the B2B and B2C sectors, both services and products, manufacturing and technology, consulting and advising, government and private sector, women- and minority-owned and military veterans. The person who is ideally suited for The Birthing of Giants Fellowship Program us an individual who:

• Run a company with revenues between $5 million and $250 million. (Businesses with revenue between $2 million and $5 million that were launched in the last 5 years are also eligible)
• Have a small, loyal management team.
• Want to accelerate sales and other revenues.
• Want to increase productivity of their staffs and scale their company culture.
• Want to serve their stakeholders (employees, vendors, communities, customers and more) even more.
• Want to maximize the profitability of their company.
• Want to prepare their company for sale in the future.

Dating back to Benjamin Franklin, the first “American-style” entrepreneur, you’ve had to educate yourself in order to prepare yourself for your unique position, leading a company. Individuals who attend Birthing of Giants will gain working knowledge of ways to amplify their company’s vital resources. According to our extensive research, these four areas have the greatest impact on your success:

• Management and Leadership
• Sales and Revenue
• Capital Market Readiness
• Financial Model Transformation
• Team Alignment and Culture

Each participant in the program relies upon her peers in order to have the most impactful week-long experience so our application process is designed to uncover the most ambitious and engaged among applicants. Your peers are chosen based on their history (with their company, their industry and their community) and their future plans.

The application process does not discriminate with regards to industry or company, but we do ensure that no competitors share a cohort so you can speak freely about your own company and strategy.

Participants in the program leave with a strategic plan for your company that projects out over 12 to 36 months. Your plan will address all 4 areas of success (management + leadership, sales + revenue, financial model transformation and capital market readiness) and it will allow you to bring your roadmap back to share with your team so they can help you implement the strategic plan. Some of the strategic objectives you might consider include:

• Personnel changes and organizational structure
• Salesforce strategy and structure
• Team Alignment and culture building (employees, vendors, community, customers)
• Your own role as CEO
• Your financial and business model
• The role of technology in your business
• How to build in order to sell (and to who)

The primary program is one week long. Participants live, eat and learn together during this week. It typically stretches from Sunday night (a welcome dinner) to Friday lunch. Each day is a combination of lecture, breakout groups with guest lectures from academia, thought leadership and business. The day runs from 9AM to 5PM. Group dinners are also held most of the nights
