Apply for CEO Next

Frank Brown, the owner of Minuteman Press Uptown, was looking to keep growing his business. 

That’s why he joined CEO Next, a cohort learning opportunity for businesses owners with more than 10 employees. It's a space where these successful leaders can discuss the shared challenges of scale and dig into their business with deep research from the Edward Lowe Foundation. He knew he could do better with this kind of support. 

“If you think you’re doing great, you can do better. You can always do better and CEO Next helped me do better,” said Frank.
