From smart tech and sustainable farming, to music, wellness, and travel, ventures in the 2025 TIA Summer Accelerator reflect an incredible range of talent.
The accelerator’s on-campus boot camp will run from Monday, June 2, through Friday, June 13. Ventures will immerse themselves in pitch development, business modeling, and strategic planning.
From June 14 through July 20, teams will enter a fieldwork phase — working either on campus or remotely — to refine and test their ideas.
The summer will conclude with a capstone experience in New York City from July 23 to 25, including a Thursday-evening reception, hosted jointly with ÌìÃÀ´«Ã½â€™s Entrepreneur Network, where students will share their journeys with alumni and friends.
