Accelerate@Shea
Start@Shea's Accelerator, Accelerate@Shea, is a 9-week program that provides student startups with expert advice, space, and funding to launch and grow their business. Teams will have access to a network of founders and mentors, including alumni and friends of Boston College, through comprehensive workshops and one-on-one office hour sessions. Accelerate@Shea aims to bring together the innovative startup community at Boston College by giving teams the opportunity to discuss their progress and build a relationship with other student entrepreneurs going through the same challenges.
Accelerate@Shea's
cohort members receive $1500
of an equity-free grant to use towards their startups, personalized mentorship from professionals and alumni, workshops to scale and grow through our curated speakers, and access to Start@Shea's resources and community.
The sense of community built through Accelerate@Shea's cohort allows for new ideas and friendships to thrive. Our program's student-founders learn to collaborate and surround themselves with other like-minded entrepreneurial personalities.
Demo Day is a culmination of all of the progress our Accelerate@Shea cohort has accumulated through our 9-week program. Founders pitch their startups to the BC community, and we celebrate the best of the best in our startup ecosystem!
