Bad Girl Ventures welcomes first Launch class of eight startups


Bad Girl Ventures (BGV) welcomed its first Launch class last week, part of the Covington business accelerator organization’s revamped three-tier Explore, Launch and Grow programming.
 
“We had over 50 applicants for the class,” BGV Executive Director Nancy Aichholz says. “Our volunteer selection committee chose the class based on stringent criteria. The eight companies represent completely different industries. They’re energetic and engaged, and we’re excited about them.”

The 18-week program began last week. Since all of the participants are also running their companies, classes are offered alternating weeks with the off week providing time to do homework and meet with mentors.
