Our accelerator program provides 24 months of customer development, product development, network building, and expert guidance for startups, all in preparation for securing state & local contracts. 

The CivStart Accelerator is unique in that our mentors, advisors, and founders are all experts in state & local government challenges and opportunities. Not only will we help you craft your solutions to meet these challenges, but we provide direct exposure to interested state and local governments providing honest feedback that may lead to new opportunities.

The CivStart ecosystem and curriculum is designed to help cohort members position themselves as more than just government vendors, but as true partners in sustainable and inclusive change.
