Welcome 2020 Summer Cohort!
We are so excited to welcome the 2020 Summer Accelerator Cohort to our EforAll family!
At EforAll, we’re used to our entrepreneurs making history. But this summer, the 15 entrepreneur teams we’ve selected as part of the 2020 summer cohort are even more groundbreaking, because they’re part of our very first totally virtual accelerator program!
Due to the pandemic, EforAll’s free accelerator program is 100% online. We’re especially proud of this resilient group of entrepreneurs because they’ve already navigated interviews, mentor matching, and our first week of classes: all over Zoom! They’re rising to the challenge not only of starting a business, but adapting to the new startup climate. From hair salons to hot sauce, this year’s businesses are already succeeding on so many levels.
Last week, the cohort got to know each other and began learning about customer segments with EforAll’s CEO David Parker. We also had some friendly faces from past cohorts share their experiences with the new group. We’re so excited to dig deeper into the business model canvas this week and hear what the entrepreneurs have to say about what they’ve learned so far!
