Only two weeks left to apply. Don’t miss your chance to join Cohort 22 of the LBAN Business Scaling Program.

Expect two immersive weekends and nine weeks of live, expert-led online curriculum. Learn from Stanford faculty and industry leaders, engage in capital matchmaking conversations, and most importantly, become part of a mutually supportive network built to help you scale.

More than the curriculum, this program is an entry point into a national ecosystem of people who lead with "how can I help you?" rather than "what can I get?" The relationships built through LBAN have a way of compounding long after the nine weeks are over.
If you've been thinking about joining Cohort 22, now is the time to apply.

The program is open to U.S.-based founders of all backgrounds with $1M+ in annual revenue or $1.5M+ in external funding raised.

Carlos Vela joined LBAN not knowing what to expect. What he found was more than a program. He found the opportunity to learn directly from world-class faculty and an ecosystem of entrepreneurs invested in helping one another grow, opening doors, and creating opportunities.

That same door is open for you in Cohort 22 of the LBAN Business Scaling Program. Applications close soon.

Over nine weeks, you will learn through world-class curriculum, receive 1:1 mentorship and capital introductions, and gain access to a national ecosystem of 1,600+ entrepreneurs, mentors, and capital providers who genuinely show up for one another long after graduation.

If you have been thinking about applying, now is the time.

Ana Temu Otting, Cohort 19 alumna and Founder of Corazón Printing, came to LBAN looking for tools to grow her business. What she found was something far more lasting.

"The relationships I built through LBAN have opened doors, created lifelong friendships, and helped me grow not only as a business owner but as a leader. Corazón Printing exists because people took chances on me, and LBAN became a place where those chances multiplied."
- Ana Temu Otting, Cohort 19

That’s the ecosystem in action. People open doors for one another, and those opportunities multiply. Now, Ana is paying it forward by donating to LBAN so the next entrepreneur can find the same support, connections, and opportunities

Would you rather go at it by yourself with a lack of resources or be in a community where you have access to understanding how people have done it?" - Martha Hernandez, Cohort 16

Martha said it better than we ever could. Entrepreneurship doesn't have to be a lonely journey: not when you're surrounded by people who are genuinely betting on each other.
For Martha, joining the LBAN Business Scaling Program was one of the best decisions she's made. Not just for the knowledge, but for the community, access, and connections.

If you’re a business owner and want to be a part of this supportive ecosystem, apply today.
