Creative Startups

About

Startup accelerators are popping up around the globe. Yet, Creative Startups is the first accelerator whose sole purpose is the success of creative + cultural entrepreneurs. Startups we have mentored have gone on to win Emmy awards, finish top in Project Runway, be named to national lists of "Who to Watch" in arts and culture, and receive growth investment. Mentors have invested millions in creative enterprises and are passionate about creativity and your success.

While most accelerators focus on tech companies, Creative Startups is an accelerator built from the bottom up with creative + cultural entrepreneurs in mind. We look for entrepreneurs who blur the lines between technology and the creative industries. The program's team, mentors, Virtual Accelerator, 5-day Deep Dive, and Demo Days bring together the largest gathering of creative founders, industry leaders, and investors in the nation.

If you are a creative entrepreneur building a startup in a creative or cultural sector—fashion, education, music, film, design, apps, cuisine, architecture, publishing, craft, performance, you are leading the innovation economy—the Creative Startups accelerator is designed specifically for creatives like you. Your creativity, artistic talent, and use of innovative technologies are essential to your success.
