Mission We work to create a powerful community of diverse entrepreneurs and stakeholders working together for a more equitable future where everyone can lead healthy, fulfilling lives free of racism, poverty, and other systems of oppression.
Description Propeller is a 501c3 nonprofit that grows and supports entrepreneurs to tackle social and environmental disparities.
Our strategy is to build a critical mass of small businesses and nonprofits working to tackle disparities in food, water, health, and education. These are areas we have identified as having significant inequities and proven market opportunities for local entrepreneurs to implement solutions.
At the heart of Propeller’s work lies our accelerator programs, designed to support small businesses and nonprofits at every point of their growth—from idea, to pilot, to beta, to growth. Since our first accelerator program in 2011, Propeller graduated 200 entrepreneurs who collectively have generated over $105+ million in revenue and financing and created more than 460+ full- and part-time jobs for New Orleanians.
