HelpOne Software Selected for Fall 2026 Element 46 Tech Accelerator

WESTCHESTER COUNTY, NY / SOMERS, NY, October 2026 – HelpOne, the Somers-based all-in-one platform built exclusively for nonprofits, has been selected for the Fall 2026 cohort of the Element 46 Tech Accelerator, powered by QUAY Acceleration. HelpOne is one of eight Westchester startups in the program’s 12th cohort, which kicked off at KOI Creative Space in White Plains.

Many nonprofits run on scattered systems: one tool for volunteers, another for events, another for donations, and spreadsheets in between. Staff lose valuable hours stitching that information together. HelpOne brings volunteers, events, fundraising, payments, board management, and HR, policies and training into one login, with unlimited records and a flat monthly price, so teams can spend more of their time on the mission.

Through the program, HelpOne Founder and CEO Edward Zaremba is taking part in sessions on customer discovery, go-to-market strategy, and pitch deck and storytelling, along with mentor roundtables and work with a dedicated one-on-one mentor.

“Nonprofit teams do incredible work, and too much of their week goes to juggling systems instead of serving people,” said Ed Zaremba. “Element 46 is helping us get better at telling that story, so more Westchester organizations can get that time back for their mission.”

The Element 46 Tech Accelerator, powered by QUAY Acceleration and supported by the Westchester County Office of Economic Development, gives Westchester startups a multi-week curriculum, pitch and networking events, a mentor network of investors and technology entrepreneurs, and a dedicated one-on-one mentor.
