Intuit Inc. announced the national expansion of the Intuit IDEAS (Invest, Develop, Empower, Accelerate, and Scale) accelerator program in partnership with the National Urban League. The program has begun accepting applications and will expand to nine cities across the United States and a nationwide cohort consisting of only veterans and military spouse entrepreneurs. Intuit IDEAS, launched in Los Angeles and then expanded to Atlanta and Philadelphia, helps small businesses grow and save time by pairing Intuit's AI-driven products, services, and experts, with business and executive coaching provided by the National Urban League and Zella Life.

In its first year, IDEAS participants reported on average 23% revenue increase and 16.5 hours saved monthly. As a result of the program's success in Los Angeles, Atlanta, and Philadelphia, Intuit IDEAS is expanding to support an additional 250 small business owners across the country in Charlotte, Chicago, Dallas/Fort Worth, New Orleans, New York City, and San Diego. Intuit IDEAS will also support a cohort of military veteran-owned and military spouse-owned small businesses nationwide.

The application for the Intuit IDEAS program is now open. Interested business owners in the nine program cities, as well as veterans and military wife entrepreneurs nationwide, should complete the online application to be considered.
