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.

Our Impact

Our goal is to create a more inclusive tech environment here in Boston. Since 2014 we’ve helped launch 20 startups led by underrepresented entrepreneurs.

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.
