Accelerate your startup’s progress over the summer. This May, the Keenan Center for Entrepreneurship is proud to launch Summer Catalyst, a 3.5-day intensive accompanied by summer-long resources and meetups across the country – all designed to help you and your team maintain momentum on your startup over the summer.  

The journey kicks off with a fast-paced 3.5-day in-person bootcamp from May 5-8, with structured workshops, live coaching, and working shoulder-to-shoulder with other founders. You’ll hear tangible insights from founders such as Andy Sparks (Co-Founder of Mattermark and Holloway), Travis Hedge (Co-Founder and CRO at Vouch Insurance, YC S19), and Jonathan Poma (Founder of Loop and building a stealth AI startup). You’ll leave the week with progress and a concrete plan to take your startup or idea to the next phase. Throughout the summer, participating teams will gain exclusive access to a powerhouse network of mentors and speakers. Beyond expert guidance, teams can unlock up to $2,000 in funding, receive in-kind resources, and ongoing access to the mentor network.  

Engagement is at the heart of the Catalyst experience. You’ll be joining a vibrant community of founders through a shared Slack channel and curated community events in San Francisco, Columbus, and New York, with Chicago (to be confirmed). Every element of this program is engineered to provide the exposure and connections you need to succeed. Don’t let your startup’s progress stall- opt-in to Summer Catalyst and spend your summer building the future.
