Adrian, MI – Lenawee Now and the Hillsdale Economic Development Partnership will launch the second cohort of the Lenawee/Hillsdale Lean Rocket LOCAL Fellows Program in March 2025.
This cohort-style business boot camp is open to 12 local business owners from Lenawee and Hillsdale Counties. To qualify, candidates must have a revenue-generating business and complete an application form.
Originally established by Jackson’s Lean Rocket Lab, the Lean Rocket LOCAL Fellows Program aims to eliminate common barriers faced by entrepreneurs by providing expert training, financial assistance, and a supportive entrepreneurial community.
Thanks to a partnership with American 1 Credit Union, participants can also qualify for milestone grants by achieving specific business goals. Applications are now open for the 2025 Lenawee/Hillsdale Lean Rocket LOCAL Fellows Program.
To apply, visit LeanRocketLab.org/local.
