Take your entrepreneurial dreams from concept to reality with the Community Try It Fund. This special funding opportunity is designed to help individuals who have completed the Hurt Hub’s Ice House Entrepreneurship Program or Building a Lean Startup course take those crucial first steps in launching their business.
Community Try It Fund has been made possible through a generous Truist Charitable Fund grant.
The Community Try It Fund provides up to $1,000 of financial support to help cover initial business expenses such as registration fees, licenses, permits, and other startup essentials.

We realize you are going to make mistakes when attempting something you’ve never done before. Failure is part of the creative process, and we want you to take risks, try new ideas, learn how to quickly recognize what doesn’t work and pivot onto something that does.

A limited number of awards are available through the Community Try It Fund.

If you’ve completed our entrepreneurship training and are ready to transform your business idea into reality, the Community Try It Fund could provide the boost you need to get started.
