In the startup world, there is a fine line between success and failure.

I am providing free Pre-Accelerator scholarships to under-resourced, disenfranchised, and marginalized founders.

  What you're going to learn.

Don't Wait. Accelerate!

Take the Survey Now and Get Accepted to an Accelerator!

Only 2% of applicants are accepted to most accelerator or corporate innovation programs.  Why so low?  Most applicants don’t know how to answer the questions!  Learn to answer the questions in a 2-week, structured “Pre-Accelerator”.

Structured and Personal

Online courses, several weekly group sessions, and a personal mentor to help you shape your plan and pitch. Startup Science is a full experience to prepare you to get accepted. You’ll have a sample application and we’ll connect you to accelerators that are a match.
