Hillman

Accelerator Investment Firm

The Hillman Accelerator is a diversity-focused technology accelerator that addresses the venture capital funding gap by supporting early-stage, scalable tech companies led by women and ethnic minorities. Operating on a structured, cohort-based model, the program provides selected pre-seed startups with a standardized $100,000 cash investment in exchange for a 7% to 8% equity stake. Beyond the capital injection, participating founders undergo an intensive, multi-month curriculum focused on scaling product demand, refining business strategy, and receiving elite 1-on-1 mentorship to prepare their tech companies for future institutional fundraising.
