Watch This Live Webinar For Applying—and Being Admitted—to Social Enterprise Accelerators

Mark Horoszowski

Mark Horoszowski is the co-founder and CEO of MovingWorlds.org.

On April 26, 2018, MovingWorlds hosted a webinar with leaders from some of the world’s most recognized social enterprise accelerators and impact investors. You can watch the recording of the video below. Before jumping into the highlights, we’d like to give a special shout-out to our wonderful and insightful speakers:

Here are some of the key takeaways from the webinar:

  1. Your best chance of getting admitted is showing REAL market traction and social impact
  2. Do your research and only apply to accelerators that align with your mission and are for the right size and stage of your organization (Use Entrepreneur DataImpact Space Accelerator Selection Tool, and GALI to find the best options for you)
  3. Growth rate is more important than size – show that you are progressing, and explain how the accelerator will help you do that more effectively
  4. Try, try, and try again – the vast majority of organizations will not be accepted on their first try. So keep trying.
  5. Network and build connection with alumni, mentors, and others who can provide guidance as you consider applying
