Desai Accelerator

Leverage the most expansive and tight-knit network in the world. Our startups get unmatched resources in mentorship, talent, community, and visibility. The Desai Accelerator is a collaborative effort at the University of Michigan between the Zell Lurie Institute of Entrepreneurial Studies at the Ross School of Business and the Center for Entrepreneurship at the College of Engineering. The accelerator provides the physical infrastructure, financial resources, and mentorship to support early-stage ventures as they reach the critical phase between early-stage development and the point at which they seek external investors. Applications are open to anyone to apply, no University of Michigan affiliation is needed.
