I’m thrilled to say that the Accelerator wrapped on August 16, 2024. It was an incredible ride, and I’m forever thankful for the guidance and mentorship that NVBCC provided throughout the experience. In just 12 weeks we covered a broad range of topics – including accounting, sales & marketing, AI, venture capital, and much more! It was an incredible experience.

I’m thrilled to say that Lollygig is part of a Business Accelerator. This incredible 12-week intensive program is offered through the Northern Virginia Black Chamber of Commerce (NVBCC). The Economic Evolution Accelerator Program was tailor-made for existing businesses looking to achieve the next big breakthrough in their growth. It’s specifically built for Founders, and I’m thrilled to be one of them. We’re three weeks in, and it’s been fantastic!

Only a few years ago, you needed hundreds of thousands of dollars and manufacturing middlemen overseas to get new products made. Today, creating physical prototypes and small batches, and even full production runs has become faster, cheaper, and more transparent. New manufacturing startups and technologies have made this possible. My favorite new resource for producing nearly anything that I make for personal and pro projects is Xometry — one of many awesome companies that helps people take projects from 3D digital designs to real working prototypes in only a few weeks.
