Tampa Bay Innovation Center Accelerator Program

Where innovation gets down to business.

About this Program

Ever wondered what goes on behind the scenes of a tech incubator or accelerator?

Typically, our 12-week accelerator program accepts 8 – 10 companies per cohort, but we realized many first-time startup founders that could benefit from the planning activities and tools may not be ready to commit to a fulltime program.

If that sounds like you, join us for our IdeaSprint Bootcamp on Wednesday, January 15th from 5:00pm - 7:30pm.

This abbreviated, but very intensive program is perfect for early-stage B2B software startups (less than 9 months old). We'll dive deep into strategy, product development, and market validation.

Who's it for?
• Aspiring founders
• First-time tech innovators

What to Expect:
• Expert-led workshops
• Peer-to-peer learning
• Networking opportunities

Eligible categories include:
• Enterprise software (including SaaS)
• FinTech
• MedTech
• AgTech
• SpaceTech
• Energy storage & management
• Robotics

Please note:
• Our elevator was damaged by the storm and will not be accessible. Attendees must be able to use the stairs.
• This in-person event is open to founders located in the Tampa Bay region.
• This program is limited to 30 companies; applications must first be approved, and founders will be notified via email in advance of the program. Please make sure your contact information is correct.
