Empowering those that build the future.

About the Cohort

Our cohort will empower those that build the future.
 
The cohort includes:

You will be partnered with a regional business leader. We will do our best to match you with a mentor that exemplifies the support you request. Mentorship is open to anyone – TechUnited members and nonmembers, early career through late career, founders and employees.
