Bringing Diversity to Boston’s Tech Landscape

Our mission is to diversify Boston’s startup sector by providing support and resources for local minority-run ventures. Through our accelerator program, we draw investment to communities that have traditionally been left out of the high-tech startup scene.

How It Works

Entrepreneurs apply for our accelerator program. Finalists are selected and invited to pitch their ideas before a welcoming committee. 5–7 startups are selected to join each 5-month accelerator cohort.

All startups in our program have access to resources including a $4,000 zero-equity stipend, professional mentorship, co-workspace, and technical assistance.
