OMFA Cohort 5 Blew the Community Away at NEOKCR's ICO on November 14.
This month, NEOKCR marked two incredible milestones: the conclusion of the latest OKC Minority Founder Accelerator (OMFA) cohort and the success of November’s Initial Community Offering (ICO). OMFA and ICO highlight our commitment to empowering local talent and fostering ethical, community-driven development in Northeast OKC.
Empowering BIPOC Entrepreneurs with OMFA
The OKC Minority Founder Accelerator (OMFA) is a transformative 10-week program that equips minority entrepreneurs with tools, mentorship, and resources to scale their businesses. This cohort was no exception, featuring dynamic founders who brought innovative ideas to the table, from tech-driven solutions to community-focused ventures.
Over the course of the program, participants honed their skills in business planning, marketing, and capital strategies. They also forged valuable connections with mentors and investors, setting them on a path toward long-term success.
To our latest cohort graduates: Congratulations! Your dedication and vision inspire us all, and we can’t wait to see the impact your ventures will have on OKC and beyond.
Building Community Through the Initial Community Offering
ICO serves as the grand finale for the OMFA cohort, giving each founder the opportunity to present their innovative ideas and business plans to a supportive audience of community leaders, partners, and potential investors. The energy in the room was electric as these trailblazers shared their journeys, challenges, and triumphs. Each pitch was a testament to their hard work and passion, proof that dedication and perseverance can transform dreams into impactful realities. They’re not just creating businesses; they’re building legacies that will strengthen and inspire OKC for generations to come.
