EO to preview Accelerator Program Monday

As part of Baton Rouge Entrepreneurship Week, the Entrepreneurs’ Organization will give a preview of its Accelerator Program on Monday at the offices of Kean Miller in II City Plaza, 400 Convention St., suite 700. The Accelerator Program allows entrepreneurs to connect with one another and learn how to grow their businesses. Quarterly meetings focus on four key issues faced by first-stage entrepreneurs: strategic planning, sales and marketing, human resources and finance. The program aims to take businesses with annual revenue of $250,000 or more and push them over the $1 million mark. To qualify for the Accelerator Program, you must apply before your 47th birthday and be the owner or founder of an operating business with gross annual revenue between $250,000 and $1 million. You don’t need to meet these requirements to attend the preview meeting Monday, which will last from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m., with lunch provided. Cost is $20, and tickets can be purchased here.
