Accelerator

Accelerate.

The Harbor Entrepreneur Center offers the Harbor Accelerator program from February to June.

The Harbor Accelerator program engages the cohort of accepted companies in a focused Market Validation curriculum curated by the Harbor’s proven entrepreneurs. This hands-on mentoring by the founders of some of the region’s most successful companies helps young companies build a strong customer acquisition platform as a basic building block for growth. The mentors’ input is enhanced by the Harbor’s extensive list of subject matter experts who provide an “on call” wealth of knowledge. The experience is rounded out by repeated practice of a vital skill needed by all company leaders: The Pitch.

The Harbor Entrepreneur Center accepts eight companies each year into the Harbor Accelerator program. The cohort companies remain in residency at the Harbor EC, located at 11 eWall Street in Mount Pleasant, SC, for 24 weeks.

The mentors’ input is enhanced by the Harbor’s extensive list of subject-matter experts and sponsors who provide an “on-call” wealth of knowledge to solve the challenges unique to each cohort member.
