Built for Everyone.
No Exceptions.
Accessibility at TOM Enterprise goes beyond the website. It's baked into our pricing, our format, our community, and our mission. Every barrier we remove — financial, geographic, technical, or cultural — is a legacy we make possible.
Access Isn't an Add-On.
It's the Foundation.
TOM Enterprise was built on a single conviction: no one should be priced out of building a legacy. That commitment shapes every decision we make — from how we price services to how we design our programs, our website, and our community.
Accessibility at TOM Enterprise means removing every barrier between talented entrepreneurs and world-class support. Financial barriers. Geographic barriers. Digital barriers. Cultural barriers. We actively work to eliminate all of them — because we believe the next generation of legacy builders comes from every background, every zip code, and every income level.
If you encounter any barrier — on our website, in our programs, or in our communications — we want to know. Your experience helps us build a more accessible organization for everyone who comes after you.
Four Pillars of Access
These four pillars are the concrete ways TOM Enterprise operationalizes accessibility — not as a policy, but as a practice.
No One Is Priced Out
Every TOM Enterprise service is offered across three pricing tiers — Standard, Sliding Scale, and Scholarship ($0) — so that your income never determines the quality of support you receive. Every tier delivers the same professional-grade output.
- Standard Tier: Full-rate for those who can invest at market rate
- Sliding Scale: Needs-based reduction — no shame, no hoops
- Scholarship Tier: $0 for qualifying entrepreneurs, funded by grants and donors
- Payment flexibility discussed during the discovery call
- No applicant is ever turned away due to financial hardship
Wherever You Are in Arizona
TOM Enterprise's hybrid virtual/in-person model means you don't need to live near Tempe to participate. All programs are available online, ensuring statewide reach for Arizona's creative entrepreneurs — from Tucson to Flagstaff and everywhere between.
- In-person sessions: Greater Phoenix Metro area
- Virtual sessions: Available to all Arizona residents
- All workshops available in virtual format
- Legacy Builder Cohort accessible fully online
- 1-on-1 Mentorship available via video conference
Designed for Communities That Were Left Out
TOM Enterprise was built by and for communities that have historically lacked access to professional-grade creative and business services. Our programming reflects the lived experiences, aspirations, and cultural contexts of first-generation entrepreneurs, entrepreneurs of color, and underestimated founders.
- Programming designed with underserved communities in mind
- Mentors and facilitators who reflect diverse lived experiences
- Cohort community that centers collective uplift over individual competition
- No prerequisite credentials, degrees, or prior business experience required
- Target: 40%+ of all clients from underserved backgrounds annually

TOM Enterprise is committed to ensuring that individuals with disabilities can fully participate in all programs and access all website content. We actively work to meet WCAG 2.1 AA standards on the web and provide reasonable accommodations for in-person and virtual program participants.
- Reasonable accommodation requests honored — contact us before your program starts
- Captioning available for virtual sessions upon request
- Materials available in accessible formats upon request
- In-person venues selected with accessibility in mind
