Anchor Accelerator Cohorts

The 2025 cohort receives benefits including business software, a dedicated student who will attend every workshop, a dedicated mentor, introductions to potential mentors, customers, team members and advisors, and access to five 7-hour workshops. At the end of the program, participants have a comprehensive business plan and the vision, tools and relationships they need to hit their goals.
