Senior Editor - Restaurants DoorDash launched its Main Street Strong Accelerator, an initiative providing financial support and specialized educational resources to women-, immigrant- and people of color-owned businesses, who have been disproportionately impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic. Developed in close collaboration with Accion Opportunity Fund (AOF), the nation’s leading nonprofit small business lender and support organization, the Accelerator helps in the creation of equitable access to opportunity in the restaurant industry with programming designed to help restaurateurs stabilize and adapt their business for long-term success. Applications open today to small business restaurateurs in New York City, Los Angeles, Chicago, Atlanta, and Philadelphia, and 100 restaurateurs will be selected to participate in the program’s inaugural year.
