PROGRAM HIGHLIGHTS

  • Personalized Experience

    It’s all about you and your company. The program is designed to address the specific needs of your company. The faculty and mentors work with you to identify your company’s specific key challenges and develop a customized program of support and solutions. 

  • Expert Advice

    The faculty and mentors have unparalleled experience as entrepreneurs, educators, and investors, bringing practical, real-world knowledge and techniques to the program.

  • Peer - Peer

    To build ties between members of the program and reinforce mastery of key concepts and tools, the accelerator also integrates a novel and powerful “peer mentoring” process.

  • Demo Day

    The program concludes with Demo Day giving each company the opportunity to showcase their businesses to a panel of experts and investors.

  • Post Accelerator

    Beyond the ten weeks of the program, you’ll continue to have access to your peers, faculty, and mentors - far beyond the ten weeks of the intensive accelerator.
