May 1, 2017

New York, NY – Based on the successful 2017 re-launch of this historic entrepreneur’s development program, 40 top entrepreneurs have been identified and welcomed into The Birthing of Giants Fellowship Program 2017 season. Today, The Fellowship Program announced plans to welcome 90 new entrepreneurs for 2018. The participants will be entrepreneurs who distinguish themselves in their businesses, industries, and communities, and will own businesses between $2 million and $250 million.

Three sessions will be held during 2018:

• April 23-27, 2018: Hosted at Duke University Executive Education Center, Durham, North Carolina
• June 4-8, 2018: West Coast location (to be announced)
• September 24-28, 2018: Hosted at Duke University Executive Education Center, Durham, North Carolina

Over the course of this week-long session, entrepreneurs who are selected for The Fellowship Program will live, eat, and learn together. Participants will be led by the program’s Board of Experts and guest mentors from business and thought-leadership.

Originally incubated in the hallways of M.I.T. in 1996, with the partnership of Inc. Magazine, Birthing of Giants is an educational program for owners of growing companies and has had several of the leading entrepreneurs of its day pass through its doors. Earlier this year, The Business Owners Council (ownerscouncil.net), a learning community for the owners of fast-growing companies—also incubated by Inc. Magazine—completed a transaction to acquire the brand in order to re-launch the legendary entrepreneurs masterclass program.
