CAN YOU GET THIS?
YOUR REAL ODDS
Slauson runs one cohort per year and has graduated four cohorts since 2022, meaning they select a small number of companies annually.
This is a competitive, curated accelerator — not an open grant. Selection is based on founder fit and the vision of the business, not just a written application.
WHAT IT TAKES
Sign up for program notifications via the Slauson & Co. site to catch the next application window — 5 minutes
Prepare your pitch around how your consumer product creates exponential (not incremental) improvement in everyday life — 1–2 weeks
Submit application when the next cycle opens — 1–3 hours
WORTH KNOWING
Slauson frames this explicitly as economic inclusion work — founders who can speak authentically to underrepresented community building and cultural insight are likely to resonate with the selection team.
