Entrepreneurship For All (EforAll)

Entrepreneurship for All (EforAll) is accelerating economic and social impact through entrepreneurship in mid-sized cities. Currently, EforAll works in Lowell, Lawrence, and the South Coast region (Massachusetts). In September 2014, EforAll changed its name from the Merrimack Valley Sandbox to better reflect its mission and give the organization a name that will let it add new cities and regions. Current programs include: - Entrepreneurial awareness building events, including Pitch Contests, Workshops, Entrepreneur Talks, and Mixers - Twice yearly Accelerator Programs, where 15-20 entrepreneurs work with mentors and experts to move their ventures forward quickly. A $30,000 prize pool awaits some of the graduates at the end of each 12 week program; the goal is to help the entrepreneurs make it through that critical first year of building their venture. - First in the Nation Spanish language entrepreneurship programs including Pitch Contests (Concurso Pitch “Lanza Tu Idea”), Workshops, and Entrepreneur Talks. - Co-Working Space for local entrepreneurs, at the EforAll office in Lowell at 175 Cabot Street, Suite 100. Up to 20 entrepreneurs take advantage of EforAll programs and have 24/7 access to workspaces, conference rooms, printers, WiFi, and a shared ktichen, all for $200/month per person (plus parking).
