It’s an intensive 4 months, with two sessions per week on average and a one-on-one session with our executives in residence.
We review applications year-round and acceptance is made on a rolling basis. Our accelerator program is delivered in fall and spring cohorts. After your application is submitted, our Program Manager will review your details as soon as possible and contact you if your company is deemed a suitable fit for the accelerator. Our goal is to notify the final group of companies that are accepted within 8-12 weeks of the cohort launch.
No, Venturepark Labs is a non-profit organization and we do not take equity from our cohort companies. We do charge a one-time membership fee at the start of the program, which will grant you access to virtual sessions, course material, one-on-one mentorship, and our community portal.
The Venturepark Labs accelerator program is a major commitment, and we expect you to be active and engaged during the sessions and with our virtual community for the 4-month period. This means open and responsive communication with your Venturepark Labs network during and post-program. It is also our expectation that post-program you are a leader and representative for future cohorts who are looking for mentorship from alumni on our community portal.
