"Chase and the Golden State Warriors have kicked off the third season of a program created to help Bay Area entrepreneurs turn their dreams into reality. On Feb. 12, 15 Bay Area small business owners gathered at Chase's Oakland Community Center, on Broadway at 30th, for the "Alley-Oop Accelerator" (named for the two-person basketball play). The eight-week program is designed to transform ideas into thriving businesses and empower the next wave of local innovators."
"The accelerator offers participants hands-on training, expert mentorship and a vibrant community of fellow founders. Participants will learn the essentials of business, including mastering financial management, unlocking marketing strategies and navigating the maze of legal compliance. Each entrepreneur also receives one-on-one coaching tailored to their unique journey, ensuring that business owners gain practical skills and actionable insights. Entrepreneurs in the 2026 Class will receive a $2,500 stipend and ongoing support after graduation."
