Absolutely! As a not-for-profit working towards disability inclusion, we are committed to creating an accessible experience for everyone. All sessions will have automatic live captioning. Sessions will either be short, or will have plenty of breaks in between. Zoom fatigue is real, so most weeks will have no more than four sessions. Since all programming is virtual, you can attend everything from the comfort of your own home or workplace.
If there is anything else we can do to make the accelerator more accessible for you, we encourage you to let us know!

Not at all! The benefit of doing a virtual accelerator is that any startup anywhere in the world can participate. The sessions will however take place during EST daytime hours.
While the accelerator is intended for for-profit startups, we review each application on a case by case basis. If you represent a not-for-profit organization, please reach out to us with a description of your work before applying.
No, we do not charge anything and we do not take any equity.
