Two Locations. One Bold Mission.

Our flagship hub for business training, coaching, workshops, and shared workspace.

Supporting Appalachian entrepreneurs with startup guidance, funding readiness, and rural business development partnerships.

ITB helps entrepreneurs launch, grow, and become funding-ready through:

• Business setup and LLC formation
• Business planning and strategy
• Branding, marketing, and pitch development
• Mentorship and entrepreneur training
• Shared workspace and networking opportunities
• Connections to lenders, grants, and community resources

We help founders access the capital they need through:

• Microloans and startup funding opportunities
• Grant alerts and pitch competitions
• Loan-readiness coaching
• Partnerships with banks and CDFIs

ITB exists to support Black, Brown, rural, low-income, disabled, Hispanic, Native American, and historically underserved entrepreneurs.

We believe ownership creates opportunity — and we help founders move from idea to launch, startup to scale.
