What is the Startup Accelerator?
Our Startup Accelerator aims to take your startup from idea to market by connecting you with experts from inside and outside Illinois Tech. At the end of the program, you will have a chance to pitch your startup to a panel of Chicago-area investors and entrepreneurs during the Kaplan Pitch Tank, where we give away more than $50,000 in prizes!
