Artisan Accelerator

The Next Fab Accelerator Program provided the knowledge, resources, and community I needed to confidently run my business as an artisan. I've learned so many valuable tools that I've already begun applying to my business in only 8 weeks. Asata Beeks of Asata Maisé

Before this program, I thought that you were either a business or an artist. Throughout these 8 weeks, I’ve learned that it’s a combination of both and both parts need equal attention. Lori Thomson of LORI LOVES...

As a small business owner/entrepreneur I feel like I am working hard, wearing many hats etc. This program did a great job of letting me step back and take a look at my business with a more detached perspective. This detachment from the emotional side of being in business let me see a clearer path to determine sensible goals. Gordon Richardson of Salvaged Woodworks

The Artisan Accelerator program helped me to disassociate what I "thought" and "felt" about my business and learn to practice objective review of what actually happens. From who my actual customers currently are to where I see the most income- the coaching I received taught me that what I can't quantify is not real. Steven Dailey of Steven Dailey Studio

After starting a small business during the pandemic, what I needed most was mentorship, support, accountability, and resources. NextFab's program provided just that. Every aspect of the Artisan Accelerator program was thoughtfully developed and successfully transitioned to running remotely...My cohort was diverse in craft and demographic, supportive to one another, and inspiring.

This program helps guide and navigate those just starting out and those who have been in business for years. The instructors who were brought on showed expertise. I will go further and say Earl Boyd was my favorite instructor, with Ethan Fox being a close second. The knowledge provided was invaluable and it was a joy to have the opportunity to be a part of.

The artisan accelerator definitely boosted my knowledge of what it takes to scale a business. I've learned so many tools to begin building the structure of my business and the support to keep it sustainable. Jeremiah Jordan of Confetti

The NextFab Artisan Accelerator program was a great way to jumpstart my business into a more focused area of thought and direction. Cody Hughes of Untitled_Co

This program was super helpful for growing my network and preparing my business to take the next steps. I loved the variety and genuine nature of the advisors and participants as well as being able to openly share and receive information about current problems/successes in our businesses. The classes all connected to each other and I have a much better understanding of my customer, my business's value, and how to strategically enter into the marketplace with advertising. Thank you so much!!! Machele Nettles of Idol Light

NextFab's Accelerator program helped me scale my business by 20% in a few months. The resources, guidance and support shaped my marketing strategies, financial projections and customer segmentation.  I cannot thank NextFab, Todor, Earl and all the speakers enough. I sincerely appreciate everything you all have provided my business. Yemina Israel of Addi Naturals
