Apply for the 90-day jumpstart.
Two minutes to fill out. Two business hours to hear back. No marketing email sequence, no automation, no chatbot. A real person at the program reads every application and routes you to the right founding partner. If your Illinois business license is dated within the last 90 days and your business is anywhere in the six-county Chicagoland metro — Cook, DuPage, Lake, Kane, Will, or McHenry County — you qualify.

Eligibility
Four rules. That's it.
No income test. No industry filter. No application essay. We don't care if you're a one-person freelance gig or a six-person startup with a Series A coming. If you meet these four, you're in.
Chicagoland address
Cook, DuPage, Lake, Kane, Will, or McHenry County. The full six-county Chicagoland metro.

Your business license, LLC formation, or DBA registration is dated within the last 90 days. We check the date on your filing.
