Turn your idea into a launch-ready venture through the Future Founders Accelerator, a nine-session, cohort-based program offered by The Launch Pad at the University of Miami. Participants will gain practical entrepreneurial skills in areas such as idea validation, networking, MVP development, financial modeling, legal considerations, operational strategy, sales, marketing, KPIs, and pitching.

Founders will also receive free mini-grants, weekly office hours, access to breakout events, and the opportunity to compete for additional funding of $8,000 or $5,000 during the final Demo Day.

The program meets in person on Tuesdays from September 15 through November 17, from 4–6 p.m. Current University of Miami students, alumni, faculty, and staff are eligible to apply. Applications are due September 10.

The Future Founders Accelerator is made possible by Santander.
