Maine

Maine, the northeasternmost U.S. state, has an economy and culture tied to its heritage industries – Forest Products, Life Sciences, Marine/Aquaculture, Food/Agriculture, and Outdoor Recreation.   Today, 99.2% of businesses in Maine are small businesses, of which only 1.1% are Hispanic-owned and 2.6% are owned by members of other racial minority groups.  These statistics point to a need for a business accelerator program like EforAll that will help support Maine-based BIPOC entrepreneurs and increase the diversity in the local business landscape.

Our Programs

Business Accelerator

The Accelerator is a free, one-year program offered twice a year in EforAll communities. It provides immersive business training, mentorship and access to an extended professional network. Anyone with a dream to start or grow a business is encouraged to apply.

Pitch Contests

Fast-paced, fun community events that enable early-stage entrepreneurs to gain valuable exposure and feedback on a business idea at no cost. Great opportunity to network and validate business idea with potential to win a cash prize from EforAll.
