Applications for Cohort IV opens January 1st, 2023 and ends February 1st, 2023.
Cohort IV will consist of 7-9 of the most promising startups around. ACT Tulsa runs two cohorts a year accepting up to 16 startups each year, so if this cohort doesn’t work for you stay tuned for Cohort V.
ACT will invest $70,000 into accepted companies. This investment will come in two parts: An initial investment of $35,000 at the start of Phase I and a second investment of $35,000 at the start of Phase II. The $70,000 investment carries 0% interest and 0% equity, 1x payback of the $70,000 is triggered by revenue/capital raised milestones so that another founder can have the same opportunity we gave you
We exist to raise the bar for Black and Latino founders and not only increase the value of your company but increase your ownership in it as well.
The accelerator runs for a period of 6 months, with workshops, programming, and mentorship taking place each week.
The first 3 months are focused on incubation and acceleration while the last 3 months are focused
on implementation and growth.
The accelerator is highly immersive, expect to commit 8 hours a week to this program.
