FFU Accelerator – One Program, Two Tracks

FastForward U’s Accelerator programming is an opportunity for student teams from across the University to work collaboratively to make progress on their ventures. This is an engaging, cross-disciplinary initiative to build skills, grow networks, and connect with other entrepreneurial students. Teams are grouped by stage to allow students to learn together at a pace that makes sense for where they are on their entrepreneurial journey. Learn more about each track below.
