City Opens Applications for Second Launch Savannah

City Opens Applications for Second Launch Savannah Cohort

SAVANNAH – The City of Savannah’s Economic Development Department, in partnership with Startup Savannah and the Small Business Assistance Corporation, is now accepting applications for the second cohort of Launch Savannah.

The 2025 program begins July 1 and runs every Tuesday from 5:30 p.m. to 7:30 p.m. until Sept. 16. Applications can be found at savannahga.gov/launchsavannah.

Launch Savannah is a business accelerator program for small and minority-owned businesses. The 12-week, in-person intensive course is designed for aspiring or newly established entrepreneurs.

At the completion of the course, participants will be better equipped and positioned for success in their business ventures. Additionally, participants will receive an accelerator scholarship package for support services to help elevate their business move to the next level. Support services include accounting, marketing, legal and other types of assistance required for small startup businesses.

Launch Savannah is an economic driver initiative that began as a recommendation from the City of Savannah’s REAL Taskforce. The mission of the REAL taskforce was to identify and address systemic barriers, particularly those rooted in racism, that prevent people of color from achieving their maximum potential.
