Application Deadline: NC State’s Andrews Launch Accelerator
March 31
The Andrews Launch Accelerator helps NC State founders turn their visions into reality.
The NC State Acceleration Fund is the product of a $1 million donation from Lyn and Chip Andrews. The fund allocates equity-free seed capital to startups that complete the Andrews Launch Accelerator.
The purpose of the accelerator is to give NC State founders the opportunity to jumpstart their entrepreneurial journey. It provides founders with funding, resources and guidance to take their startups to the next level.
During the 14-week summer program, NC State startup founders get to work on their concepts and build their companies. The program is structured with learning modules that steer companies in the right direction. Each module covers key entrepreneurial topics such as customer discovery, product development and fundraising. The modules end with a Demo Day, where companies pitch to the top investors in the Raleigh-Durham area.
