Teams selected to join Breakthrough are expected to:
-
Attend two in-person workshops (2.5 days each) in the continental United States
-
Attend one Demo Day in the continental United States
-
Join weekly or bi-weekly coaching calls with an expert coach (frequency determined by the team), co-developing the agenda with the coach
-
Participate in 1-2 shared learning activities with their accelerator cohort per month
-
Work within teams between activities to advance their innovation (activities will vary by team)
-
Provide structured feedback to the Breakthrough team to improve the cohort experience
-
Submit a budget for how your team would use the $100K award within the nine months of the program
Outside of required in-person events, we anticipate that this will equate to teams spending 8-10 hours per month on Breakthrough Accelerator activities—4-5 hours on structured, hosted events and 4-5 hours working independently as a team. This breakdown may ebb and flow throughout the accelerator and will increase during months in which in-person workshops and Demo Day are held.
