As one of Delaware’s most dynamic entrepreneurial incubators, the Pete du Pont Freedom Foundation’s (PDFF) Equitable Entrepreneurial Ecosystem (E3) is continuously evolving. Starting this April, the program will offer even greater value to members with new benefits, enhanced support, and expanded opportunities to help entrepreneurs excel at every stage of their business development.
As membership prices will increase in April, members are encouraged to join or renew by March 31 to take advantage of the current rates and unlock all the new benefits that will be available starting this spring.
Empowering Entrepreneurs: Choose Your Path to Success with E3
E3 was created by the Pete du Pont Freedom Foundation to support entrepreneurs across various industries in scaling their businesses. The program provides expert guidance, leadership coaching, technical assistance, and targeted business resources to help participants effectively navigate their growth path.
With multiple membership tiers, E3 allows entrepreneurs to select the level of engagement and support that best aligns with their current stage of business development. Participants can join through Cohort Inclusion or Membership, each providing tailored assistance to meet their unique needs.
Both options grant access to industry experts, service providers, business leaders, and potential partners—including investors, funding organizations, and prospective clients. Members also benefit from direct guidance from a dedicated landscape navigator, who helps them maximize available resources. Additionally, participants gain access to an exclusive LinkedIn group for networking and collaboration.
What’s included:
- Strategic Planning Support: Business strategy sessions to help members define and work toward their goals.
- Vetted Service Providers: Connect with professionals in HR, marketing, sales, legal, and operational consulting.
- Mentorship and Guidance: Insights from experienced professionals to support business growth.
- One-on-One Assistance: A PDFF staff member is assigned to help members navigate available resources.
Coming Soon: Expanded Benefits and Enhanced Support
In addition to gaining access to a vetted network of service providers and business experts, we will be adding a suite of free services ranging from monthly accounting and bookkeeping to copywriting and developing proposals for funding.
With the latest expanded benefits, members will get:
- 20% off at CSC Station Coworking Innovation Hub in Wilmington, DE
- Monthly meet-ups to connect with fellow entrepreneurs and industry leaders
- Tickets to PDFF events, including the annual Pete du Pont Freedom Award
