February 2: DivInc Spring 2018 Deadline
The Forrest Four-Cast: January 28, 2018
Launched in September 2016 in Austin, DivInc aims to address the lack of diversity in the tech startup ecosystem. This group’s mission is to help foster the growth and development of ethnically diverse and women-led tech companies.
DivInc’s 12-week pre-accelerator program help founders ensure their companies are built for success. We provide teams with top-notch, comprehensive programming and connect them with an extensive network of mentors and investors plus the critical resources they need to turn their idea into a high-growth, scalable business.
The application deadline for the DivInc Spring 2018 cohort has been extended through the end of the day on Friday, February 2.
To be eligible, one of the founding members of your startup must be a woman or person of color and the company must be tech or tech-enabled. The Spring 2018 cohort will run from April 2 through June 22. Find complete application details here.
