SEG works with a wide range of legal entities and structures for social enterprises. We have small businesses and non-profits participating in the same cohort. We also have a growing number of co-ops and B corps in our ecosystem. Beyond these categories, we also work with hybrids (for-profits that may have a non-profit affiliate) or non-profits with a for-profit subsidiary.

In short, the focus is on social enterprises or mission-driven organizations that use business-minded approaches to revenue streams.

As an Accelerator entrepreneur, you will:

• Dedicate approximately 6 hours per week to the program during its duration

• 11 three-hour workshops instead of 10 or 50% in-person and 50% Virtual  

The SEG Accelerator is a 12-week blended learning platform. This innovative and flexible blended-learning model includes:

• Weekly easy-to-access online modules

If you are motivated, coachable and have a social venture that meets the criteria, you’re the right fit. Having a functioning team is encouraged, but not required.
