What We Offer

“Storytelling bridges innovation to trust.”
— Why the Brand's Story is Essential to the Pitch

Our team dives deep into a founder's journey, challenge their assumptions and their business models, and push for clarity about the brand's direction and impact.

There are a lot of great ideas and folks with the passion to care about them, that idea will never come to life, if the person behind it, isn’t ready to and doesn’t know why they are the ones to lead. LaunchingFounders.com builds entrepreneurs. We offer multiple options for innovators to learn how to deliver on their brand promise and gives them a head start to understanding what additional tools, services, and people are needed to make that promise come to life.

Every quarter, Entre-SLAM provides social impact, tech, food, and retail entrepreneurs with support for scaling and attracting investment opportunities. Selected founders will complete a 6-8 week journey that will culminate into a night of business storytelling in front of media and investment professionals.

Participating founders will retain 100% equity in their startups and will have a chance to land some funding at the final brand storytelling event. 

Organizations that have been part of Entre-SLAM’s Brand Story Accelerators have raised over $35 million in capital. Since social distancing orders were put in place in March, Entre-SLAM transitioned all of its programs to virtual in two week’s time to continue to serve entrepreneurs in the Puerto Rico market. The accelerator awarded $15,000 in prizes in June 2020.
