ACCELERATOR
AT ACCELERATOR, OUR MISSION IS TO EMPOWER ENTREPRENEURS WITH THE TOOLS, ACCOUNTABILITY AND COMMUNITY TO AGGRESSIVELY GROW AND MASTER THEIR BUSINESS.
As a first-stage entrepreneur, you face new challenges every day. Whether it’s determining how you’re going to fill the rush of new orders, deciding how you’re going to penetrate new markets or figuring out how you’re going to make payroll, it seems at times you find yourself wishing you had an instruction manual for your business.
It’s okay. We understand.
And we’re here to help. Accelerator, an Entrepreneurs’ Organization program, is the catalyst that enables first-stage entrepreneurs to catapult your business to the next level. Our mission is to empower you with the tools you need to grow your business to more than US$1 million in sales and provide you with the skills to make yourself a better entrepreneur and leader.
Along with structured educational content focused on the core areas of first-stage businesses, the Accelerator Program affords you the unique experience of learning from and connecting with the world’s most influential entrepreneurs.
