The Founder Palace Accelerator
Build your company with founders who have done it before.
Our two-month program helps next-generation builders turn promising ideas and early products into launch-ready ventures through experienced mentorship, practical guidance, investor and partner connections, and an ambitious peer community — without requiring them to relocate to a traditional innovation hub.
Built for founders wherever they begin
The Accelerator welcomes student founders, recent graduates, first-time founders, professionals, creators, and innovators building outside traditional startup centers. We evaluate applicants based on the quality of the founder, venture, commitment, and community fit — not simply their age, location, or academic status.
Our Student-Founder Mission
The Founder Palace began with a bold idea: Transform College Campuses Into Startup Launchpads™. Student founders remain an important part of our community, and we continue helping them use their campuses, academic resources, and local networks as foundations for building real ventures.
