Overview
EforAll is a nonprofit that helps aspiring entrepreneurs from underrepresented communities start and grow their businesses by providing free training, mentorship, and access to a professional network. It runs a 12-week Accelerator Program twice a year and hosts community Pitch Contests, with costs covered by local partnerships and philanthropy so participation remains free. Unlike many accelerators, it focuses on accessibility in underserved markets and operates across multiple communities rather than a single hub. Its goal is to create inclusive economic opportunities by expanding access to entrepreneurship and boosting local startup growth.
