Our programs equip them with business competencies and soft skills essential to success in any venture. From the first spark of an idea, we empower people to discover their potential, take risks (and minimize them), test ideas, and act. As Orlando's only nonprofit tech accelerator, we provide the connections and educational resources for tech starters and the entrepreneurial-curious.
Through bootcamps, accelerators, and other free or low-cost programs, StarterStudio guides entrepreneurs along a continuous development path, whether beginning from the idea, build, or seed stage. Each phase is strategically designed to meet the founder’s needs and help their business thrive. By helping our entrepreneurs strategically achieve their business goals and reach milestones, we enable them to start, scale and stay in Central Florida.
