The Entrepreneurs' Organization runs two additional programs: the Global Student Entrepreneur Awards [1] and the Accelerator Program.[2]
The Global Student Entrepreneur Awards (GSEA) is an awards program for high school, undergraduate, and graduate students who own and operate a business. The GSEA operates as an international series of competitions for student entrepreneurs who are attending a recognized high school, college or university, who own a for-profit business, are principally responsible for its operation and have been generating revenue for a minimum of six consecutive months.
The Accelerator Program's mission is to empower those business owners with the tools needed to grow businesses to more than US$1 million in sales, and provide the skills necessary to make a better entrepreneur and leader. Accelerator provides similar membershop opportunities as EO to businesses that have not yet met the minimum membership requirements.
