We’ll be offering three full scholarship levels to Accelerate:

::: How To Apply :::

Applications will be by video submission only.

Your video should meet the following criteria and include the following elements:

1) Maximum of 5 minutes long

2) Include video of you introducing yourself and your product or business concept

3) Use a visual slide presentation explaining your product or business idea - give us a “demo” of your product, explain who its for, what it does, and why it’s going to be successful

4) Explain your plan for creating your product, testing it in the market, and building your company

5) If your business is already selling a product or service, show us as much as you can about how you’re doing it

6) Tell us why you deserve to win a scholarship to Accelerate, and why you want to attend

7) Clearly include your name and contact information in the video and on the page that hosts the video

I will be choosing the winners personally, based on my own assessment of the value and professionalism of the product, presentation and plan.

I have a particular interest in technology-based products and services, as I believe that this is the direction that business is going in the future. You do not need to be building a computer or making software to win, but you will get extra credit if you’re working on something related to technology.
