FAQ
The Entrepreneurs Acceleration Network (GEA-N) is a global network created by E3Hubs (Entrepreneurs Empowering Entrepreneurs) that allows its members to have access to resources – financial, market, partnerships, mentors, experts, business services, corporates, government and more – that will enable entrepreneurs to develop and grow their businesses.
GEA-N subscribes to the GLOCAL concept which means LOCAL ECOSYSTEMS, GLOBAL NETWORK. We believe that local ecosystems, whether it is districts – states/provinces - country-wide, need to be formed and developed so that entrepreneurs will have access to local ecosystems and a global network is needed to help entrepreneurs to scale their businesses beyond borders.
To facilitate the development and growth of startups, E3 believes in the time-proven “Three Pillars of Business Growth” – business support, market access and funding access. GEA-N aims to provide the Three Pillars to its members by enabling access to E3 Entrepreneurs, mentors, and coaches; training and leadership development, market exploration, business matching, e-commerce marketplace and finally, crowdfunding, investor network and investment pitching. We will roll out more and more services to support our entrepreneur network.
