The program is divided into two 2 stages; Enablement Content and Showcase. The Enablement Content stage gives entrepreneurs the tools and resources their business needs to overcome the unique hurdles early-stage companies face when trying to commercialize technology in public safety. The Enablement Stage is complete when Participants have completed the required courses to reach optimization for public safety selling. There’s no set time limit for required completion of the Enablement Stage, however, we reserve the right to dismiss Participants no longer engaging or making progress. The Showcase Stage is on-going and available for all active Graduates of the Enablement Stage.
