EMPOWER YOU · FELLOWSHIP PROGRAM
Six months of the business support most disabled entrepreneurs need most.
Business coaching exists. Accelerators exist. Admin support exists. Almost none of it is built for people with chronic illness and disability — not in cost, not in format, not in pace. Empower You is the fellowship program that changes that.
We're funding our first two fellows. Every $10,000 raised puts one disabled entrepreneur into the program - six months of dedicated support, at no cost to them. Applications open once funding is secured.
$10,000 per fellow
Fellows pay nothing. This is what it costs us to make that possible.
Comprehensive, hands-on business support.
1:1 business coach and strategist
Six months of dedicated strategic support - not group coaching, not a community forum.
1:1 Admin and social media support
Capacity support built in - so fellows can focus on work that actually requires them.
Rotating paid expert guests
Specialists matched to what each fellow actually needs - not a generic curriculum.
Designed for fluctuating capacity
Every component is built around real bodies and real energy limits - not an ideal schedule.
EXPERT GUEST TOPICS INCLUDE
MARKETING STRATEGY
COPYWRITING
RUNNING ADS
SOCIAL MEDIA
BRANDING
SALES
FINANCIAL BASICS
OFFER PRICING & STRUCTURE
BUSINESS OPS & SYSTEMS
AND MORE, MATCHED TO EACH INDIVIDUAL FELLOW
Who we’re looking for
And what continued support looks like.
OUR IDEAL CANDIDATE
A chronically ill or disabled entrepreneur with capacity and space to grow
Ready to move forward in their business — not just exploring the idea
Open to restructuring how they work and receiving mentorship
CONTINUED SUPPORT
Graduates move into a lighter mentorship program for ongoing accountability - so the momentum they built has somewhere to go, and they're not left to figure it out alone once the six months are up.
The gap between where we are and where we're going can be closed with your support.
We're on a mission to fund our first two fellows. Every $10,000 raised puts one disabled entrepreneur into a program that almost doesn't exist anywhere else.
Every program we run, every speaker we pay, every fellow we support - it exists because someone decided it was worth funding. That's you, if you want it to be.
Applications open once funding is secured. Your donation is what moves that timeline.
