On Wednesday, May 3rd , the House Small Business Committee held a hearing titled, "Empowering Small Businesses: The Accelerator Model." The hearing focused on how business accelerators assist entrepreneurs, startups, and small businesses grow and create jobs, while also offering Members of the Committee the opportunity to hear from organizations that are directly involved in offering private sector resources to small businesses. Organized in a way to fast-track business expansion, accelerators offer small businesses the opportunity to interact with top business professionals. This is an issue of interest to the Committee as it considers ways to help create an environment to facilitate a greater role for accelerators.
