Polsky Center Accelerator Program careers

Launched in June 2012, the Polsky Center Accelerator Program gives student teams the opportunity to work on their businesses and social enterprises in a collaborative and dynamic environment.

The Accelerator Program accepts 10 teams to particpate through a competitive selection process. These teams received funding, office space, access to Polsky Center staff, coaching from faculty, mentorship from alumni entrepreneurs and Chicago-area investors, and weekly programming designed to help them overcome many of the hurdles to launching a business.
