Build Up Tech Accelerator Eligibility Criteria 

What We’re Looking For: The Build Up accelerator focuses on companies from a range of verticals located in Northeastern Wisconsin. However, technology must be a key differentiator in how the business generates value. Please keep in mind that this program is for technology startups rather than small businesses. All are welcome to apply. Women, minorities, veterans, and all underrepresented groups are encouraged to apply.

Commitment: We understand that you are likely working on this part-time and don’t expect a full-time commitment. This program does require a weekly commitment of 3 – 4 hours, which includes virtual class time. We expect you to be spending additional time outside of that to develop or create your MVP. However, it’s your idea/company and you call the shots. 

Passion: We are looking for passionate applicants who will take advantage of all this program has to offer. Hungry entrepreneurs will benefit from this program.
