In the Fall of 2023, the 5X-Acceleration Series will take a select group of 10 Kenmore-area business teams through a six-week intensive training.  This training has helped some graduates make it to prestigious lists such as the Inc 500/5000, "Fastest-Growing Companies in America," and more.  The series is based on the book; Best Practices of High Performance Entrepreneurs, 2006-2020.  Dates will be announced later.
