1863 Ventures' Pipeline Program Applications Open for 2020

1863 Ventures is opening applications for both the Spring and Fall cohorts of the Pipeline Program.

The Pipeline Program is a nationwide, four-month accelerator that actively recruits and retains a pipeline of investment-ready businesses who are prepared to achieve scale. The pipeline begins with a required week-long residency in Washington, D.C., and continues with monthly virtual coaching and support.

Here are the deets:

1. Each participating business must be led by a New Majority entrepreneur and have $10K - $50K of monthly revenue.

2. The Pipeline Program is a no-cost, equity-free accelerator.

3. Participants are only required to provide their own travel to and from Washington, D.C., for the Residency portion.

4. The applications, deadline, and residency dates for each cohort are below. Note that applicants are required to attend the full residency to be eligible for Pipeline, and only one person from each company may attend.

Please apply to the cohort that best fits your schedule. Duplicate applications will not be considered.
