Startup52 is NYC's first diversity focused accelerator. We love inclusive ventures with strong diversity profiles - ventures that have at least one founder from what we call 'untapped' communities in tech - people of color, women, entrepreneurs who are with disability, veterans, seniors, LGBTQ, new immigrants, etc.
Contrary to myths about diversity, for us, it is a yardstick that raises the bar higher, in evaluating founder  teams. Our goal is to leverage the benefits of diversity, which is successful, profitable and drives innovation for positive outcomes,  in empowering highly driven founders, while simply increasing diversity and inclusion in tech.Â
