Partner with us to grow talent here.

Partnership takes different forms depending on who you are. Cities and county offices invest in economic development outcomes: keeping founders, jobs, and the tax base local, the way the City of Ventura did with its $49,500 founding investment through its Economic Development department. Foundations and corporate partners fund and sponsor the programming itself, from the free workshop series to the Spring 2027 accelerator cohort, with recognition through our Founder’s Circle levels. Either way, a partnership converts directly into programming for Ventura County founders: our team is small by design, and the accelerator charges founders nothing.
