Deadline: April 20, 2025
Applications are open for the Coded by Ventures People Accelerator 2025. Building a high-growth tech startup is extremely complicated and challenging. Most new founders start their journey without truly understanding what is necessary to be successful.
The People Accelerator gives you the ability to develop as a founder first. Then, you can focus on building your company. They focus on your development as a founder first because businesses often fail because of gaps in the founders’ experiences, backgrounds, abilities, and skills, not the industry, technology, or market.
