AccelerateHER Program

AccelerateHER Program, Supporting #WomenOwned in Texas

Accelerate, grow, and expand your business

This training program is specifically for women-owned start-ups and will provide early-stage entrepreneurs with resources and education to accelerate their start-ups into scalable and successful businesses.

A small number of participants will be selected to participate in this intensive training program that is facilitated by TWU Center for Women Entrepreneurs and their designated partners.

The AccelerateHER Program will open in various locations around Texas. The AccelerateHER is a 3-month intensive program hosted by CWE, designed to help early-stage women-owned businesses scale and thrive. Participants must commit to weekly meetings, virtual check-ins, and 3–4 hours of homework each week. By the end of the program, each entrepreneur will have the opportunity to leave with a completed business plan, pitch deck, and a polished 60-second pitch.

Application requirements

Documentation of 51% or more must be submitted with the application.  

Proof of woman-owned and controlled documentation could include and must show at least 51% ownership:

  • Any woman-owned certification, sole proprietor/assumed name filings, LLC or LLP documentation showing the managing members (especially if a man is listed), certification of organization, articles of incorporation, partnership agreement or bank signature card.
  • If one document alone doesn’t show this, then send the corresponding agreement with it.
  • Do not send a copy of your driver’s license, passport, social security card, or credit card.
