Accelerate is a eight- to ten-week program open to community members and OSU researchers, students and staff who intend to establish a privately held, high-growth entrepreneurial venture. This stage focuses on developing a minimal viable product and engaging in customer discovery to validate your product market fit.
The regular Accelerate program runs three times a year (fall, winter, and spring). Through the scheduled program events, one-on-one sessions with the directors, meetings with mentors, and access to intern assistance on projects, startup teams will receive the support they need to get their concept into the marketplace.
The Spring 2023 session of Accelerate will be a program with both in-person and remote options that meets every week for nine weeks, starting April 11th, 2023. Each session will run for two hours from 3pm-5pm on Tuesdays.
The Spring 2023 Accelerate application is open now through Friday, March 31st, 2023.
