What the Program Offers:

Expert Training: 10 weeks of hybrid workshops covering business models, banking, digital marketing, and operations.


Dedicated Mentorship: Over 10 hours of personalized, one-on-one coaching with experts, available in English and Spanish.


High-Profile Showcase: A graduation and networking event hosted by Visit Greater Palm Springs.


Access to Capital: We are committed to the long-term success of our cohort. Beyond the training and coaching, graduates of the BizUp Creative program may be eligible to apply for exclusive seed funding and small business grants designed to help activate your growth. This support is offered by the Riverside County Office of Economic Development. Eligibility and funding details will be unveiled during the course of the program.

We are looking for motivated entrepreneurs within the arts, gallery, and creative agency sectors who are ready to launch, stabilize, or grow their business.
