FAQs

  • WHY SHOULD I CHOOSE THIS PROGRAM?

    Our organization exists to help our founders generate revenue, so they can feel in control of their lives, help their families, and build wealth. If this is what you want, and are willing to do the hard work of getting it, we are committed to helping you succeed. We know that starting from square one can be an overwhelming task. It’s not clear how to get from Point A to Point B, and there’s a list of classic mistakes that founders make which can be costly. In addition to getting the #receipts you need as an entrepreneur, we will hold you accountable while also supporting you.

  • WHAT HAPPENS AFTER I SIGN UP FOR THE FULL PACKAGE? WHAT ELSE DO I NEED?

    After you complete your enrollment, you will immediately have access to the Bootstrapping Bootcamp course, community and other resources. Our curriculum builds week over week on the results of your assignments. When you log in, you will also see instructions and information about how to join group coaching sessions. Live coaching with Francesca is held every Thursday at 7PM Eastern / 4PM Pacific. Attendance is not mandatory, but if you are following the 10-week pace set by Aniyia and Francesca, we encourage you to set aside the time for the sessions each Thursday, and use Friday through Monday to work on your assignments. Coaching sessions will also be made available to watch on-demand. After coaching, make updates to your assignments and then you’ll take those results into the next week. This bootcamp is 100% virtual, so you will need a computer with a stable internet connection. Other than that, bring yourself and a readiness to learn and take action!

  • WHAT’S THE GROUP COACHING LIKE? WHAT IF I CAN’T MAKE THE GROUP COACHING SESSION TIME?

    Group coaching is ~2 hours and in an open format where people volunteer for the “hot seat” (though we sometimes call people out 😇). We then spend up to 15 minutes working through someone’s questions or challenges. We are try to keep our coaching cohorts small to allow everyone to have many hot seat moments throughout the ‘Camp. We suggest arranging your schedule to attend these sessions, as it will make the most of your experience, but the sessions are not mandatory. If you prefer to do your own thing, or in case something comes up, recordings will be available on the platform shortly after each session ends.

  • CAN I DO ONE-ON-ONE COACHING INSTEAD OF GROUP COACHING?

    Yes! We have a few slots available for people who prefer a private one-on-one coaching session. Upgrading to private coaching is an additional cost. Contact us for pricing. Sessions are 45 minutes for 10 weeks with Francesca! You will schedule your session time with her after registering. In addition, you’ll still have the option of attending and participating in the group coaching sessions. Contact us if you are interested in private coaching.

  • CAN I SIGN UP FOR COACHING LATER?

    Yes, but you can only join during the first few weeks after a new cohort launches, and the pricing will not be prorated. However, you can sign up for private coaching at any time. Contact us for pricing.

  • WHAT’S YOUR REFUND POLICY?

    We are happy to refund your payment within the first 30 days, on the condition that you have watched/completed the videos and assignments from Part 1. If you put in the work for the first few weeks, and don’t feel like you’ve gained anything, we will refund your money. If an emergency comes up after 30 days that prohibits you from participating, we will reserve a spot for you in our next cohort to pick up where you left off. Entrepreneurship isn’t easy. Please come into the program ready and willing to make things happen!

  • WHAT IF I STILL HAVE DOUBTS ABOUT MY BUSINESS IDEA?

    That’s perfectly fine! We enjoy working with founders at the earliest stages of their journey. And in fact, many people will probably pivot or change what they are working on entirely after going through the first few weeks of assessment and discovery.

  • DO I HAVE TO BE BLACK OR LATINX TO PARTICIPATE?

    You are welcome to apply and enroll in the Bootcamp, even if you are not Black or Latinx. Our program content is tailored to perspectives of Black and/or Latinx people, but all are invited to participate as long as you are respectful to the community.
