About this Program
We run a 10-week accelerator, from mid-August through October. Applications are open in April and May. Vetting is completed in June and July. We typically accept 6-10 startups in each cohort. We run one cohort per year. We focus on investor readiness for startups opening their first round. At the end of the cohort, a startup will have its financials in order, data room built out, pitch deck reviewed, and will have multiple investor introductions. There are 4 live pitch events with angels during the last two weeks of October. The majority of our startups are based in VA, however, it is not a requirement.
