Accelerator
The StarTUp Accelerator is an annual eight-week, cohort-based fellowship where founders collaborate to accelerate their ventures.
The StarTUp Accelerator is an intensive, 8-week summer program designed for early-stage founders open to both Towson University affiliates and the broader community.
Founders work full-time out of the award-winning StarTUp at the Armory, collaborating with mentors, past participants and each other to fast-track their ventures.
What you’ll get:
- a $10,000 equity-free stipend
- expert mentorship and founder-focused workshops
- a built-in support network, including Mentor Fellows (alumni founders who return to support the cohort)
- a chance to refine, grow and launch your venture in a dynamic, collaborative space
