About

EforAll/EparaTodos is most well known for its innovative small business/nonprofit accelerator. Our programs are available in English & Spanish and are totally free. The year-long program starts with a 12-week intensive period, during which time the entrepreneurs are taught the Business Model Canvas, lean startup methodology and much more. In parallel to the accelerator, entrepreneurs are matched up with a team of volunteer professionals who offer our entrepreneurs strategic advice and guidance. Entrepreneurs with the most promise are awarded cash prizes throughout the year long program. In addition to the accelerator, we introduce and celebrate entrepreneurship into the local community by organizing pitch contests and other events with local leaders. Our Pitch Contests are held 4 times a year; twice in English and twice in Spanish. These events are fast-paced and help early-stage entrepreneurs gain valuable exposure and feedback on a business idea. Great opportunity to network, validate a business idea, and compete to win a cash prize.
