Accelerator: About

The Tufts Venture Accelerator was founded in 2018 and has been successfully impacting entrepreneurs ever since. The program has gone through many transformations. Today, it is the premier learning experience for Tufts venture builders who are dedicated to building their new ventures full time in the summer. In 2022, we are happy to be able to expand our ability to serve our full-time teams with equity free venture awards up to $10,000 per team. We will also be providing marketing support to help teams establish a baseline marketing presence. Lastly, we will be awarding teams with female- or non-binary cofounders a one-year membership valued at $924 for WE Global Studio, a venture studio and digital full stack startup platform for women entrepreneurs.

The Tufts Venture Accelerator has been generously funded in part by two pioneering members of our Board of Advisors and further supported by other advisory board members, alumni and friends, lending their time and expertise as speakers and mentors.
