The President’s Buckeye Accelerator supports student founders prepare a startup for launch. The accelerator combines entrepreneurship skill building, deep mentorship, community building, and funding with a structured process. Accelerator applicants first must complete a six-week Boost Camp. Six student ventures from the camp will then be selected for the year-long accelerator.

Caitlin O'Brien, a graduating senior, and her team have won a Buckeye Accelerator award for their project named Starry Night. The pitch includes a portable planetarium and reaching under-resourced communities in Central Ohio and beyond. Congratulations!
