What is the gateway to fast-tracking your ambition?

EY Entrepreneurs Access Network

Minority-owned companies contribute greatly to the US economy (4.7 million jobs) and capital market ($700b annual revenue). But many Black and Hispanic/Latino businesses do not reach their full potential due to coaching, connections, curriculum and capital barriers. EY Entrepreneurs Access Network (EAN) helps Black- and Hispanic/Latino-owned companies address the disparity gap for greater growth. Review the EAN 3-year impacts report to view key milestones and how our goal of breaking down barriers and providing opportunities for Black and Hispanic/Latino entrepreneurs has resulted in positive success.


How do you turn adversity into advantage?

 

Peer-to-peer collaboration and savvy counsel is propelling EAN momentum.
