2GI is launching the first Health Equity Accelerator to provide Disabled Entrepreneurs with the resources, mentorship, and capital they need to succeed, while driving systemic change in health equity. The program addresses barriers by offering technical assistance, and direct "pass-through funding," ensuring that capital reaches those who need it most.

By combining capital access, technical assistance, the 2GI Health Equity Accelerator is creating a more inclusive and sustainable entrepreneurial ecosystem for the disability community.

What we offer:

• 10K in Seed Funding: At the end of the accelerator program, founders are invited to participate in an online pitch competition where the winner receives $10,000 in seed funding.
• PR Exposure Package: 2GI has partnered with a PR firm in NYC who will work with each founder to increase worldwide exposure through blog articles, social media, news interviews & more.
• Investor Meetings: Every selected founder will have the opportunity to make several introductions to investors.
• Access to Mentors: Finding a mentor with years of experience in your exact same market is extremely difficult.  Until now!  All founders will have access to a list of hundreds of mentors from all walks of life.
• Private Community Access: 2GI has created an accessible online community called "The Get2gether'.  It's where disabled founders and entrepreneurs can connect, learn, share, pitch and be introduced to life changing opportunities.
