Our Curriculum

The Accelerator Program is the catalyst that enables first-stage entrepreneurs to catapult their business to the next level. Read on below to see the specific learning opportunities provided by the Accelerator program.

Strategy

Create Sustainable Top Line Growth.
The keys to sustainable top-line growth are: knowing your core customer, developing a clear brand promise, and developing your BHAG® (Big Hairy Audacious Goal) for sustainable revenue growth.

People

Become a Magnet for A-players Who Are Dedicated to Results
Growth companies’ most difficult decisions involve getting the right people in the right seats. Is everyone in your company aligned, pulling their weight, and contributing as they should?

Execution

Develop a Strategic Advantage Over Your Competitors
One common challenge that quietly sneaks up on successful growth companies is the subtle transition from excellent, precise execution to passivity, complacency, and eventually poor execution disciplines. Tightening up your execution habits can dramatically improve your gross margins and profitability while reducing the time it takes to get work done.

Cash

Accelerator Cash Flow to Fuel Your Growth
The first law of entrepreneurial gravity is “Growth sucks cash.” We encourage companies to examine their cash acceleration strategies. This measures the time between spending a dollar (on marketing, design, rent, wages, etc.) and earning that dollar back throughout the company.

"I joined EO for the structured Peer-to-Peer Learning Platform.

EO provides me with direct access to a regional and global network of like minded EO'ers.

If you want to learn from the best leaders, join EO now!"

Ray Ang Wei Chong

Sweetest Moments Pte Ltd

"I was looking for a platform where I could meet other entrepreneurs to connect, learn and grow, and I just so happens that I was introduced to EO by a mutual friend.

I love the support that I have gotten from my peers and the growth in my personal and professional development"

Nicholas Ng

Foodxervices Inc Pte Ltd

"At the start of the accelerator, I was looking for a mentor who has been there and done that to guide me on how to grow and scale my business. I find EO to be a very strong peer support group. Now I renew because I want to continually surround myself with like-minded people who will bring the best out in me and constantly challenge me out of my own comfort zone."

Mayee Fong

Bob The Baker Boy

"I always benefit from the deep sharings by members on aspects in their professional and personal lives. It's rare to connect with people who know exactly what you are going through at different business and life stages. It has helped me gain clarity in what I want to get out of my entrepreneurial journey and how my family and community can integrate holistically with the ambitions I have for the businesses I run."

Patricia Lin

Zion Global Marketing Pte Ltd

"I wanted to learn from other fellow entrepreneurs on their journey of scaling up.

The membership for EO, albeit high in my opinion, is one of the best investments I have made for myself as EO has improved me not just as an entrepreneur but in my roles as a father and a spouse."

Joey Yeo

Visionnaires Capital Pte Ltd

"I wanted to learn how to scale my businesses. Experience shared from peers has helped me avoid a lot of unnecessary mistakes and I have learned how to be a better leader and person as a whole.

In business, we understand the concept of ROI. Would you spend your time and money on something that can give you many more times than what you put in? It's a no-brainer."

Joewin Tan

Quant Investment Pte Ltd

"Deep within, many entrepreneurs will come to a point that they realise that our life's purpose and happiness are influenced by factors beyond the size of our business or cash-at-bank. So instead of running the next mile or seeking new landscape, maybe it's about having new eyes. EO will probably be the best place for that journey."

Dilong Goh

Giantech Engineering

"I was searching for transformational growth both personally and in business.

Joining the EO board was my greatest benefit as I got to learn firsthand from so many diverse leaders.

What you get out of life depends on what you put in. Take that leap of faith and boldly go."

Claudine Pang

Asia Retina Eye Surgery Centre

"I was told it was very good and at that time I needed to scale my business and I felt there was nothing to lose.

I love the awesome Collective Wisdom of the speakers and my peers from all around the world.

What would you say to someone who's on the fence about joining EO? I wished I had joined way earlier!"
