“Turning Dreams Into Businesses” is the tagline of EforAll, a business accelerator that opened its Buffalo branch in May of 2021, naming Juweria Dahir as their Executive Director. Dahir is originally from East Africa, later moving to Switzerland and the United Kingdom before relocating to Buffalo in 2013 with her husband, a Buffalonian. EforAll, founded in 2010, is based locally in The Innovation Center on Ellicott Street on the Buffalo Niagara Medical Campus, and provides entrepreneurs with free business classes. EforAll participants attend classes, receive mentoring, and have full access to a vital network of business and non-profit contacts. “EforAll works primarily with under-represented entrepreneurs, that’s our target audience.,” says Dahir.
