IRS990/ProgSrvcAccomActy2Grp/Desc0Elevate/Elevar - The Elevate/Elevar Accelerator provides Black and Latinx small business founders with the capital, curriculum, and connections to grow their businesses and create living-wage jobs in North St. Louis. Our inaugural cycle of Elevate/Elevar received 90+ applications after we engaged and supported hundreds of local entrepreneurs with improving their business plans and potential to attract capital. Over 800 community members engaged in a community vote to help us decide members of the 2020 cohort. Now, our first cohort of 10 entrepreneurs, six of whom are women, have begun their journey to scale their companies. To date, we have provided $50,000+ in capital, connected them to a host of resources, and we are already starting to see their company impacts grow.
