Our Success

Elite Energy Distribution was selected for the third Apple Impact Accelerator cohort, and since then, its overall sales have tripled — a testament to the momentum, visibility, and support the program helped unlock.

The Apple Impact Accelerator class is a cohort of 12 Black-, Hispanic/Latinx-, and Indigenous-owned environmental solution and service providers on the cutting edge of green technology and clean energy. This program was established to help mature, diverse businesses scale their impact and reach the next stage of development.

Participants in this 12-week program receive targeted training, executive coaching, skills-development opportunities, one-to-one mentorship, and access to Apple subject-matter experts across the business. After completion, alumni receive ongoing professional support, including access to Apple experts and invitations to networking events through Apple’s Supplier Success community.
