Because Accelerator 2024(free entrepreneur accelerator program)

About

The Because Accelerator is a business accelerator program designed to help entrepreneurs take their innovative products to the next level.

The program has four primary components:

  • Training: A 16-week, online curriculum covers topics common to startups and illustrated by Because International’s experience with their own social enterprise startup, The Shoe That Grows.
  • Coaching: After the first four weeks, select entrepreneurs will be matched with an experienced coach who will mentor them during the program and beyond.
  • Networking: Entrepreneurs network with members of their cohort, alumni of the Because Accelerator and the Because Advisor Network—a group of subject matter experts with connections worldwide.
  • Funding: At the end of the cohort, select entrepreneurs will compete in a pitch event for a cash prize. As a result of this competition, they have linked entrepreneurs to over $100k in funding.
