EO Accelerator

For entrepreneurs under $1m

First-stage entrepreneurs face new challenges every day. It could be determining how you're going to fulfil a rush of new orders, deciding how you will move into new markets, or figuring out how you're going to make payroll. And sometimes, you may wish you had an instruction manual for your business.

The mission at EOA is to empower new entrepreneurs with the tools, accountability and community to grow and master their business aggressively.

Along with accountability groups, access to EO coaches and mentors and structured educational content focused on the core areas of first-stage businesses, the EOA Programme will afford you the unique experience of learning from and connecting with the world's most influential entrepreneurs.

Starting with Accelerator in 2019, thanks to EO, I scaled my market research agency to become a full EO member in 2020. I’ve experienced the benefits of Accelerator first-hand, and despite most of my membership being through lockdown, the learning and networking opportunities have been fantastic. I’m excited to meet new EOA members and help them on their journey.

If you are a business owner of a company generating between US$250K and US$999K pa and would like to discover if EOA is a good fit, join us for breakfast on the 9th of May 2023.
