EO Accelerator

What is EOA?

YOUR PATH TO $1+M AND AN EO MEMBERSHIP

EOA is EO’s Accelerator program and the catalyst for first-stage entrepreneurs to catapult their businesses to the next level. EO Charleston’s purpose for offering EOA to local entrepreneurs is to empower them with the tools, accountability, and community to grow and master their businesses aggressively.

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.

Along with structured educational content focused on the​ core areas of first-stage businesses, our Accelerator Program offers the unique experience of learning from and connecting with the world’s most influential entrepreneurs.​​​
