What is EO Accelerator (EOA)?

EOA is for entrepreneurs generating $250,000-$1 million annually.

The goal is simple: grow your business to $1 million and to be able to join EO.

What Makes EOA Unique:

  • Focused on professional/business growth.

  • Monthly accountability group meetings keep you on track.

  • Quarterly learning days dive deep into the four key areas of business growth: execution, cash, strategy, and people.

How EOA Works

Led by experienced facilitators, these sessions provide actionable insights to take your business to the next level.

Monthly Accountability Groups:

Small groups meet once a month to review progress, tackle challenges, and set goals for the business. Unlike EO Forums, these groups are heavily business-focused, emphasizing execution and measurable growth.

Quarterly Learning Days:

Interactive, full-day sessions based on Scaling Up principles by Vern Harnish.

Each session covers one of the pillars of business growth:

  • Execution

  • Cash

  • Strategy

  • People

  • Sales and Marketing

“My favorite thing about EOA is the mentorship from the leadership team and the diversity of the group.”
