2024 Embark Program

Graduation & Company Pitches

Path Ahead Ventures & Founded Outdoors are celebrating the graduation of our 2024 Embark cohort!

Join this livestream to hear from each of the 16 fantastic companies in this year’s cohort.

The Embark program supports aspiring founders looking to turn their early-stage ideas into viable business models. Founders in the Embark program completed a 12-week virtual training program to learn best practices from industry and startup experts.  As part of the program, each participant received a $10,000 equity-free grant to help take their business to the next level. Now that they have reached the end of this 12-week experience, we are convening to celebrate their accomplishment and support their continued growth.
