Launch. Build. Together.

Strengthening Cape Cod’s economy by supporting small businesses and expanding access to entrepreneurial education, resources, and a community of champions. 

CapeTide was created to offer year-round, locally tailored support for Cape Cod’s aspiring entrepreneurs at no cost to them. Beginning in 2026, CapeTide will deliver two new programs designed to help existing and potential small business owners build skills, test ideas, and grow with confidence. Both programs are designed with accessibility, practicality, and Cape Cod’s unique economic landscape in mind.

CapeTide Accelerator (3-week program)

Our 3-week program introduces entrepreneurs to core business concepts, provides structured feedback, connects them with local mentors and peers, and gives access to industry experts for targeted guidance.

This is an in-person program based in the mid-Cape region.

CapeTide Intensive (12-week program)

Our 12-week program offers a hands-on curriculum, expert mentorship, and a supportive cohort environment. Participants will work on strengthening business models, refining products and services and building long-term connections with one another. Entrepreneurs work with a dedicated mentor team.
 

CapeTide is currently operating under a fiscal sponsorship with
the Cape Cod Blue Economy Foundation Inc., a registered 501(c)(3) public charity.
