Alumni

We are pleased to announce the inaugural HELM Accelerator participants. Each cohort is comprised of 30 business leaders who demonstrate the best of what the San Antonio business community has to offer – entrepreneurship, innovation, cultural connectedness, and creativity. Over a period of eight weeks, these business owners will enhance their skills, gain new knowledge, receive guidance from experienced subject matter experts, have access to curated professional services, and receive assistance in applying for capital with flexible rates and terms. We thank all our supporters and volunteers  for its generous philanthropic support that has made this possible and look forward to shoring up these small business owners as they take the HELM to navigate their businesses through today’s economic climate.
