IVMF is proud to congratulate five alumni for being selected as Antares REACH Grant recipients!

The Antares REACH Grant Program, presented in partnership with the Global Entrepreneurship Network (GEN), provides $20,000 grants to small businesses, with an emphasis on those that have an established product/market fit, have a clearly identified need for growth capital, and are owned by historically underrepresented entrepreneurs.

Grant recipients will also take part in Antares’ Growth Track Boost Camp program, a digital community which will be home to monthly business coaching workshops, mentorship, networking and more.
