Startup Accelerator

Grow Your Startup With LBAN

About the Accelerator

LBAN’s Startup Accelerator at Stanford Graduate School of Business will help startups establish business principles that accelerate growth and traction. This is a 9-week hybrid program. Participants will spend two weekends at the Stanford Graduate School of Business engaged in faculty lectures, workshops, networking, and opportunities to accelerate their growth and traction. In addition to the in-person time at Stanford, the accelerator includes 9 weeks of the online curriculum with a weekly live webinar every Wednesday.

The accelerator is designed so that founders can continue running their business back at their office/home location while participating in this program with other founders and supporters from around the country. Upon completion, the founder will receive a certificate from Stanford Graduate School of Business Executive Education.

The program is open to business owners of all backgrounds. We offer the program once per year, in Spring. Apply for the upcoming cohort.
