The Harbor Accelerator

THE HARBOR ENTREPRENEUR CENTER HAS ONE GOAL: CREATE COLLISION THROUGHOUT THE ENTREPRENEUR COMMUNITY. We believe that entrepreneurship is the number one way to grow the economy. Constant connection and introduction to the smartest, most capable and highly motivated individuals are what The Harbor is all about. Please take a look at our programs and events to see where you can collide best with the true movers & doers of the Charleston Region. The Harbor Accelerator is a business accelerator program designed with the entrepreneur in mind. We have one goal… build scale-able business for the Charleston region. Each start up is provided tremendous resources and support to grow quickly, test the market quickly, and become viable. When starting a business, there are many ways to get distracted and off course. You’ll be executing a business, not writing a plan. Our program is designed to introduce high impact business concepts to an intense curriculum led by successful mentor entrepreneurs. These mentors will walk side by side with the start up team throughout the 14 week program to keep them focused on the critical elements needed to grow their business. At the end of the program, the starts ups know what is needed to take the next step and are introduced to possible capital sources to help them grow. Those selected to participate in the 14 week program will receive the following: Access to monthly meetings with members of our mentor network Access to the Director and Lead Mentor throughout your time in the program Educational material and 90 minutes of structured, real world applicable weekly classes The opportunity to develop a team of advisors who can stay with you and your business after the program FREE workspace throughout your time in the program / free float workspace for the following 12 months.
