Launcher Ready to Start or Expand Your Business? Launcher Entrepreneurship Program has the resources you need.

The Launcher Entrepreneurship Program is a program of West End Neighborhood House which offers great opportunities to build and expand your knowledge in small business ownership. Offered in the Spring and Fall, our session format includes classroom instruction, one-on-one sessions and graduation. Launcher works with community based organizations to provide training at various locations in Wilmingt

on, Claymont and Dover and a Spanish speaking program in Wilmington. Throughout the program, we will cover topics including accounting, finance, the credit review process, marketing, operations, management and more. In addition to these topics, we will identify and develop skills like budgeting, cash management and we will help you research, write and confidently articulate a sound business plan. Our program, Plan It is an entrepreneur-training curriculum developed by Neighborhood Development Center in Saint Paul, MN. The Plan It curriculum was developed based upon over 20 years of experience training a very diverse group of aspiring adult entrepreneurs in low-income neighborhoods and communities in Minneapolis and Saint Paul. The curriculum is comprised of 11 classroom sessions, one-on-one sessions with the instructor and continuous consulting after graduation, and is intended to be completed over a 12-week time frame. As a part of our continuing commitment to small businesses and the community, Launcher in conjunction with the West End Neighborhood House and Cornerstone West CDC, intend to help in reducing barriers to small business success for residents in Delaware who want to learn the skills needed to start and operate their own small business. Launcher has been providing comprehensive entrepreneurial and small business training since 2017.

What actually happens inside a Launcher Peer Support Group? We're glad you asked. 😊

Here's what a typical session looks like:

👋 You log on to Google Meets. Your group is small — people who understand your industry and show up every other week, consistently.

🏆 You share one win from the last two weeks. Big or small. We celebrate everything.

🔥 Someone takes the "Hot Seat" — they bring their #1 business challenge to the group. Not a vague worry. A real, specific thing they're stuck on.

💬 The group listens. They ask clarifying questions. They share what's worked for them. No lectures, no judgment — just real talk from people who've been there.

✅ Everyone commits to one action before the next session. Two weeks later, you report back.

That's it. Simple, structured, and incredibly powerful — because it happens consistently with people who truly get it.

And because you're connected to Launcher, you also have a direct path to our grant programs, loan resources, coaching, and real estate opportunities whenever you're ready.

Groups launch April 2026. Applications open now!.
