A is for “Accelerator”
The WEOC Launch Women Business builder accelerator, like all accelerators, support early-stage, growth-driven companies through education, mentorship, and financing. Startups enter accelerators for a fixed-period of time, and as part of a cohort of companies. The accelerator experience is a process of intense, rapid, and immersive education aimed at accelerating the life cycle of young innovative companies, compressing years’ worth of learning-by-doing into just a few months.

“I felt paralyzed before participating in the Launch Women Business Builder Accelerator. I desperately needed human to human connection to talk through goals, endless task lists, and overwhelming emotions. I knew I could contact each cohort member and coach for guidance at any moment.”
— Amber Harper, Burned In Teacher
“If you are ready to take your business to the next level, then I recommend you invest in this program. Invest in yourself. If you want a successful business, you gotta step out the box and learn new skills. We may know our skill, but we don’t know how to run a business well. This program teaches you everything you need to know with people who are learning right along with you. My group would call me outside of class to check on me or talk about a lesson. We’re all learning together. ”
— Laneisha Bennett, Owner of Leaving Legacy Memorial
