ABOUT THE ACCELERATOR

Future Maker Accelerator is a public-private partnership developed in partnership with the Texas State Center for Innovation + Entrepreneurship and held at Alkek One. Alkek One offers a wide variety of creative technologies that program participants can use to create or develop business ideas.

Whether you are looking to create an individual side hustle or secure VC funding and build the next world-changing corporation, this program will help you assess the pros and cons of entrepreneurship, evaluate next best steps, and prepare to pitch potential partners, customers, and investors. This program is open to all members of the community thanks to a generous grant from the Alkek Foundation.

The flexible structure of the program allows participants to start on any workshop date, pick up wherever they leave off, and attend weekly support sessions for small group and individual coaching.
