HYANNIS, MA (June 17, 2020) — EforAll Cape Cod invites Cape Codders interested in turning their dreams into businesses to participate in a variety of entrepreneurial advancement programs starting in the summer and fall of 2020. For the first time, Eforall Cape Cod will be offering the programs in a virtual environment. On July 16th, EforAll Cape Cod brings the first ever virtual pitch contest to Cape Cod! Cape Codders with bright ideas will have 2.5 minutes to pitch their ideas to win money at The All Ideas Virtual Pitch Contest. Four cash prizes will be awarded to encourage innovation and business investment in our community. The pitch contest is open to anyone with an idea for a business on Cape Cod. Audience members will help award the fan favorite cash prize! EforAll will be offering pitch contest workshops in advance of the event to help applicants prepare. Up until August 12th at noon, EforAll Cape Cod will be accepting applications into the Fall 2020 Business Accelerator Program. The Business Accelerator is an intensive program designed for idea stage businesses and early-stage businesses. It includes three months of twice weekly business classes, a team of mentors assigned to each entrepreneur, one year of ongoing support and a chance to earn seed money. “Now more than ever, we have to find ways to empower entrepreneurs and small businesses on Cape Cod. For some early stage business owners, the drastic change in the business environment may mean that they have to remake their businesses in a lot of ways. For other people, changes in their work life may mean that now is the time to try that idea that has been running through their head for years. Our program is here to help those ambitious Cape Codders who have the drive but need the practical help.” ~ Amanda Kaiser, EforAll Cape Cod Program Manager.
