Have an idea – or a business, but not a roadmap?
Are you a founder who’s:
- Still figuring out your product, pricing, or business model?
- Unsure who your real customers are – or how to reach them?
- Building something great but struggling to explain it clearly?
- Wondering what to say in a pitch deck (or what a pitch deck even is)?
- Hoping to find mentors, but not sure where to look?
- Ready to move faster, but need guidance from people who’ve done it before?
Whether you’re in the early idea stage or already making first sales, if you want support, structure, and community—you’re in the right place.
The Accelerator Program
This 16-week program is designed to help early-stage founders sharpen their focus, test ideas, find traction, and build with confidence. You’ll work alongside other entrepreneurs and get direct access to mentors who’ve built companies from the ground up.
Applications are due by December 31, 2025
