Accelerator
CAN YOU GET THIS?
YOUR REAL ODDS
One company wins the $20,000 grand prize per cohort; the program has run nine previous cohorts with a single top prize winner each time.
The accelerator selects a cohort of participants, all of whom receive mentorship and resources, but only one winner takes the cash prize. Competitiveness is regional, which narrows the field compared to national programs.
WHAT IT TAKES
Review the Cohort 10 Program Guide for full eligibility requirements — 1–2 hours
Attend the optional virtual info session (July 8, 2026) — 1 hour
Complete and submit the ScaleUP application — 3–6 hours
WORTH KNOWING
Every cohort since Cohort 5 has awarded a $20,000 grand prize, and past winners span diverse tech niches—suggesting the prize is judged on growth potential and pitch quality rather than a specific sector.
