LAUNCH is for female business owners who already operate a viable, well-vetted business with an established revenue stream and customer base. Entrepreneurs participating in the LAUNCH class are eligible to compete for capital to take their businesses to the next level. At the end of the LAUNCH stage, Aviatra will award a cash prize to one or more of these businesses.
The LAUNCH class provides businesses with a three-year financial projection workbook and business plan format validated by the U.S. Small Business Administration. Each entrepreneur is assigned an individual mentor and provided with introductions to vetted service providers.

“Aviatra Accelerators has been an amazing experience for me and has definitely taught me a lot about my business. For the past two and half years, I’ve been working in my business instead of on it. I have done everything myself, and even though we have been successful, it has limited my growth ability. Now, not only do I have the skills to better manage and grow my business, but I also have a great network of people that has and will continue to help me grow. —Stephanie Tieman, Aviatra Graduate, Spring 2017
