Are you an Uptima Business Bootcamp graduate? Let’s continue to work together on building your business.
Program Overview
Our Alumni Network provides you with an ongoing connection to the Uptima community. We bring together graduates from all years of our accelerator programs to help you expand your network beyond your own accelerator classes and the communities in which you live and work. With this increased capacity, you have access to a collective wisdom, skills and opportunities to grow your business and deepen your community impact.
