PITTSFIELD, Mass. — Entrepreneurship for All (EforAll) Berkshire County announced the 13 business ideas chosen to participate in the Fall 2021 Business Accelerator program which begins the week of Sept. 13, 2021.
These 13 businesses (14 individuals) represent a wide array of ideas and come from a broad swath of the region:
- Alisa Costa/Pittsfield: Orchard Engagement
- Anneice Cousin/Hudson, NY: Beautiful Racket
- Genesis Rivera & Talya Taliaferro/Pittsfield: TG's Clubhouse
- Kira Smith/Dalton: Shire Alchemy

This will be the fourth Business Accelerator for EforAll's Berkshire County site, with 36 entrepreneurs already “launched” through the three previous cohorts. This new class of 13 will meet twice per week for business education and will be matched to three mentors each---a total of 39 volunteers from the community who will work with them for the duration of the program.
The classes and mentoring will be held virtually over Zoom for the most part, with the hope of doing the final presentations and gala in person, health conditions permitting.
The public will be invited in December to the Gala and Showcase at the Berkshire Innovation Center at the conclusion of the 12-week intensive program.
