EAN participants receive yearlong access to mentors, an executive curriculum, growth resources and capital connections.\n<\/li>\n<li><b>Why:<\/b> In 2019, EY leadership observed a lack of access to connections and funding that hinders many Black- and Latino-owned businesses from scaling, and the pandemic further amplified these barriers. As an expansion of our current entrepreneurial ecosystem (35 years Entrepreneur Of The Year\u00ae; 15 years Entrepreneurial Winning Women\u2122), EY US developed the EAN to help bridge the gaps for these companies to thrive.\n<\/li>\n<li><b>When: <\/b>Applications are being accepted now through<b> <span class=\"xn-chron\">September 15, 2022<\/span>.<\/b> The EAN will notify companies of their acceptance on a rolling basis, beginning early <span class=\"xn-chron\">December 2022<\/span>.\n<\/li>\n<li><b>Who:<\/b> Black and Latino business owners who meet the criteria may apply online at <a href=\"https:\/\/c212.net\/c\/link\/?t=0&amp;l=en&amp;o=3567284-1&amp;h=4002480925&amp;u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ey.com%2Fen_us%2Fentrepreneurship%2Fentrepreneurs-access-network&amp;a=ey.com%2Fean\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\">ey.com\/ean<\/a>. Applicants must be Black or Latino business owners who are founding CEOs and majority owners of any privately held, for-profit company based in the US. The company must be more than two years old and 51% minority (Black\/Latino) owned.\n<\/li>\n<li><b>How:<\/b> The EAN is designed to be a manageable 12-month program for busy executives. The platform includes assessments, one-on-one coaching, a curriculum customized based on needs, access to online tools and networking events, and promotional exposure. There is no cost to participate.\n<\/li>\n<li><b>Quotes: <\/b><\/li>\n<ul type=\"disc\">\n<li><b>From EY US:<\/b> &#8220;Black and Latino businesses are often underestimated and under supported.
