CREATIVE ENTREPRENEUR ACCELERATOR PROGRAM


Overview

The Creative Entrepreneur Accelerator Program is designed to pair creative entrepreneurs with existing small business consulting services, help creative entrepreneurs grow their business, audience, and revenue.


Why Creative Entrepreneurs?  

Creative entrepreneurs are invaluable assets to communities. They lead innovation, deliver creative  products and services, generate economic opportunity, and build community identity. Assisting creative entrepreneurs is part of the pathway to recovery and increased opportunity within a rapidly changing economic environment. Providing a pathway for creative entrepreneurs to grow their businesses strategically helps foster thriving Pennsylvania communities that are great places to work and live. 


Partnership with Bridgeway Capital

Recently the PCA partnered with Bridgeway Capital to utilize Bridgeway Capitals Impact Management System (IMS). This is an additional resource for creative entrepreneurs to gauge both the growth and sustainability of their business.
