AccelerateHER—a partnership between the Texas Woman’s University Center for Women Entrepreneurs and Stoke Coworking—has named eight local small businesses to its female founder-focused incubator program. Next up: The program aims to expand beyond Denton to Dallas, Houston, and Abilene.
“Members will be walking away with stronger foundations to their businesses, and the tools they need to grow,” says Stoke Executive Director Heather Gregory.
Six early-stage startup founders took part in the multi-month program, offered by TWU's Jane Nelson Institute for Women’s Leadership and local coworking space The Slate.
The founders' offerings range from "clutter-free spaces" organization to a surgical concierge service to a diaper vending machine concept. Applications will be taken this fall for the program's next incubator, which kicks off in January.
Coming to Dallas next week, the IF/THEN Summit will bring in "STEM Rock Stars" who have been selected as American Association for the Advancement of Science IF/THEN Ambassadors. Meet the ten from North Texas.
