Entrepreneurship for All (EforAll) - Lowell, Massachusetts

Andrea Mulligan

EforAll provides a framework for thinking about how to start your business and realize your goals. The 12 week accelerator focuses on knowing your customer and what the business needs to be successful. The energy and quality of fellow entrepreneurs is amazing, and the mentors are hard working, and commit. Cheers to the EforAll team for putting together such a great program!!

I was selected as a Finalist in the Summer 2017 Accelerator and was lucky to be chosen to be part of this amazing group! After working on my product idea solo for over a year, having a community of early stage entrepreneurs to bounce ideas off was so productive. The growing number of staff all bend over backwards to help us out with encouragement and resources. They all have a genuine interest in seeing all of us succeed. Also, having a mentor team that takes the time to understand my business and struggles and help prevent costly mistakes with their wisdom and advice is invaluable. The classes were a crash course in everything you need to know when starting a business. They were a real eye opener and prepared us to move forward in our businesses in the most productive way. This program takes you from floundering to on the right track and moving ahead. It's truly a wonderful program.

When I decided to start my own business, I was as excited as I was clueless about the process. While fumbling through a business plan, I was introduced to the EforAll Accelerator Program by a colleague. Today I am halfway through the program, and have already narrowed my focus, researched my target audience, and formulated a twelve month strategy to give my business the best chance of success. My confidence has grown with each class.

How did EforAll help? By surrounding me with a network of brilliant, successful, dare I say loving mentors, presenters, fellow entrepreneurs and core staff that not only want the best for you, but have it in their charter to see to it that your business is successful. The presentations are topical, and even though they have to be broad enough for everyone, still feel tailored to me and my business. Every presenter has made themselves available for further discussion should you need their advice down the road. That’s yet another benefit of the Accelerator, your mentors are available to you for an entire year. In fact, I expect they’ll be available long after that too, based on the relationships we have formed.

In short, EforAll has been a most valuable building block in my path to opening a business. Their support has helped point me in the right direction, time and time again. I highly recommend the program.

I was selected as a Finalist in the Winter 2015 Accelerator and was thrilled to be part of this amazing group! After working on my business solo for almost 2 years, having a community of like minded entrepreneurs has been huge. The sharing of ideas/strategies is a big part of this program. Also, the team at EforAll motivates and pushes all of us towards success! Having a mentor team that takes the time to understand my business and works with me towards success has been a significant mental boost. The speakers series has been an invaluable source of information and covers so many important topics...and they are all geared towards early stage companies with little resources and small teams. Most importantly, since starting the program this past December (its now late Jan as I write this) I have learned more about who my target customer is in 5 short weeks than I did in two years on my own. I am looking forward to next month of the program and know that when it concludes, I will be SO much further ahead!! Its one of the best investments of time I have ever made since starting The Dinner Daily!

I would highly recommend EforAll any entrepreneur who is in need of further direction and assistance with their start up. EforAll provides excellent mentor ship and seminars.

They have created a very organized agenda for all of the entrepreneurs during the program as well as a great working environment. The staff of EforAll is truly engaged with all the start ups and provides some excellent input for each of the start ups in the accelerator program.

EforAll provides a wonderful program for any entrepreneur, whether first time or serial. It doesn't matter how many times you've started a business, each time is new, and working together with a group of fellow entrepreneurs, having experienced mentors thinking about your business, and doing the work to test assumptions and lay a strong foundation will only make your startup better. EforAll, its staff, and the expert presenters they bring into the program do an excellent job of providing an environment to excel.

EforAll has been an incredible resource as I plan and prepare to launch my business. The accelerator program is top notch--great content, mentors, speakers and support. I live in Cambridge and gratefully travel to Lowell for this fantastic program.

I was a finalist and thrilled to be accepted at the EforAll 2013 Winter Accelerator Program. I have founded a marketing startup called Tomo360 at the beginning of 2013. It is a 3-month intensive program that helped me with my business formation and direction. This was a very important part of my startup because I was paired up a group of dedicated mentors to help me think about my business model.

We had weekly classes from experts from different business disciplines to talk about a variety of concepts from how to do a lean startup, market research, business model, social media to cold calling, etc. We also got to refine and practice our pitches in front of judges and a large audience, and pave the way to the Shark Tank in the future! As a matter of fact, some of my classmates were accepted at the Mass Challenge. The staff and mentors were super supportive. Our class grew very close and we were supportive of each other's businesses. Most of us continue to stay in touch even after we graduated.

I have been working at the coworking space after I graduated from the Accelerator. It could be lonely being an entrepreneur at times, and a shared workspace allows me to interact and socialize with other entrepreneurs. Its great that we get to bounce ideas off each other and we help each other out. The rent is reasonable and the commute is easy as compared to going to the city.

When I started Tomo360, I didn't have a very clear direction and mission of where my business is heading. The EforAll Accelerator Program has definitely helped me to set the direction and my future is a lot brighter. I highly recommend EforAll.
