Entrepreneur & Business Accelerator Needs

• Business Accelerators often struggle with creating and implementing effective assessment tools for minority businesses in order to get a complete landscape of the companies existing capacity in order to best support them during the accelerator process. The Community’s COO handles that for you by designing organization specific assessment tools.
• Business Accelerators create their own curriculums or purchase a curriculum that often does not reflect the economy & economic decisions of the minority participants being served. The Community’s COO handles that for you by creating culture specific curriculum.
• Business Accelerators often source partnerships & resources that align with the business needs without assessing rather or not participants can implement or utilize them accordingly, or if the resource is the appropriate fit for all participants. The Community’s COO handles that for you by assessing business & entrepreneur needs via the assessment tool.
• Business Accelerators often do not have the capacity or resources to locate leadership with entrepreneurial experience and exposure to assume employment roles within the organization. Therefore there’s a gap in understanding between the leadership and participants in these cases. The Community’s COO handles that for you by providing professional development training to accelerator leadership.
• Business Accelerators struggle with aligning capital and stipends of all kinds to minority owned businesses that ensure positive outcomes related to company growth due to the entrepreneurs industry of choice. The Community’s COO handles that for you by aligning accelerators with minority owned and operated capital vehicles as well as developing an alum funds utilization reporting system.
• Business Accelerators struggle with determining which participants are self-employed, business owners or entrepreneurs in order to apply the appropriate journey of support that ensures economic results. The Community’s COO handles that for you by determining where participants are in their business journey via the assessment.
• Business Accelerators often have alum participants request additional support once the program is over in areas that may have been missed or that come up later as a result of doing business better. Alum often want to continue the work they started in the accelerator with professional support navigating the resources and ecosystem efficiently. The Community’s COO handles that for you by providing your participants extended business coaching and workshops.
• Business Accelerators often struggle holding participants accountable to their commitment in the program, to themselves and to their business during the learning curves they experience.  The Community’s COO handles that for you by transparently communicating the expectations of professional services, interactions and leveraged access to resources expected to be implemented with support yet independently.
