Dallas-based Integrality is accepting applications for the ninth cohort of its Start.Pivot.Grow. accelerator, a free 10-week program for North Texas retail, e-commerce and franchise businesses. Applications are due July 26, and the next cohort begins Aug. 12.

The program is aimed at smaller companies that want to expand through training, advising and grant support.

It ends with a pitch competition, where participants can compete for cash prizes.

Integrality is running the accelerator with Dallas College Foundation and UPS Foundation. The consulting firm said the program has served 112 businesses across its first eight cohorts, awarded more than $84,000 in grants and helped participants secure $550,000 in capital.

According to the research brief, Integrality was founded in 2002 and has offices in Dallas and Long Beach, Calif. The program says it focuses on emerging entrepreneurs and aims to support businesses that want to grow from six to seven figures.

Cynthia Nevels, CEO of Integrality and founder of Start.Pivot.Grow., said the firm is proud of its ability to expand its reach across retail, e-commerce and franchise markets. She also said the partnerships help deliver services to entrepreneurs seeking to grow and reach their maximum potential.

Dora Zapata, community relations manager for UPS Foundation, said UPS is committed to delivering success and growth for the people, customers and communities it serves worldwide. She said the partnership with Dallas College reflects a shared commitment to support the next generation of small business entrepreneurs.
