The V Club framework
Structured. Strategic. Fundable.
Three pillars hold up every business that is ready for funding. The workshop builds all three, in order.
Structured
The right entity, the right setup, and the credibility pieces funders look for first.
Strategic
A clear market position and a funding strategy matched to your stage of business.
Fundable
Projections you can explain and a pitch you can deliver with confidence.
How this workshop works
You work on your own business in every session.
Bring your business
Idea stage, newly registered, or already operating. You work on your real business, wherever it stands today.
Build it in the session
Each day focuses on one part of your foundation, and you complete that piece during the session with Patrice guiding you.
Leave with finished work
Six completed pieces of your business foundation, ready to use with lenders, investors, and partners.

Questions
Before you register
Is the workshop really free?
Yes. As our inaugural workshop, all five sessions are free for the 15 entrepreneurs who register.
Where and when are the sessions held?
November 9 to 13, 2026, 7:00 PM to 9:00 PM CST, via Zoom. Your confirmation email includes every detail.
Do I need a registered business to attend?
No. The workshop is designed for aspiring, new, and established owners. If you have not registered yet, Day 1 will help you decide how to set things up.
What should I bring?
A laptop or tablet, plus any business documents you already have, such as registration papers, your EIN letter, or a business plan. If you do not have these yet, you will start building them during the week.
Will this workshop get me approved for funding?
No workshop can promise funding approval. This one helps you understand what funders look at, prepare your business properly, and make informed decisions about your options.
Why only 15 seats?
This is a hands-on workshop. A small group means Patrice can look at your work and give feedback specific to your business.
What happens if the 15 seats are full?
You can still register. Anyone who registers after the first 15 is added to the waitlist and confirmed by email. If a seat opens, or when the next workshop is announced, waitlisted entrepreneurs hear about it first.
