Introducing our HBCU Founders Accelerator Cohort #3
Nex Cubed is thrilled to announce the launch of Cohort #3 of the HBCU Founders Accelerator.
Since its inception, the HBCU Founders Accelerator has been dedicated to supporting founders from Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs), helping them overcome the systemic barriers they often face in the startup world.
Our bespoke approach to acceleration ensures that every team receives the appropriate support and resources by pairing startups with a personalized curriculum and paid professional advisors, specifically tailored to meet each founder's unique needs.
Last month, the founders had the opportunity to meet with their advisors and the broader Nex Cubed community at our program kickoff and reception in Washington DC. This exciting two-day event was made possible by the incredible support of our kickoff partners: AWS, g/d/n/a, and PREDICTif.
With the backing of industry leaders, seasoned investors, and a robust entrepreneurial ecosystem committed to empowering the next generation of innovators, the program continues to level the playing field and open doors for HBCU students and alumni who are poised to make a lasting impact.
Please join us in welcoming Nex Cubed's HBCU Founders Fund Accelerator Cohort #3.
