- Open to entrepreneurs, startup founders, and innovators that are creating digital technologies for young people that are enlightening, empowering, supporting, and meaningful.
- Social technology, ed-tech, and digital health breakthroughs are all examples of applicable innovations.
- Your solution should be market-driven rather than reliant on subsidies or contributions.
- Eligible innovations must have progressed beyond the concept stage and, at the very least, a working prototype.
- The Accelerator will be most beneficial to solutions that are either market-ready or well-established.
- They are especially interested in ideas aimed at teens, although solutions aimed at somewhat younger or older groups are also acceptable.
Expectations
- Throughout the program, all innovators are required to actively engage in all cohort calls, events, and activities.
- During the program’s term, the innovator may devote 3-5 hours each week to the project (this includes a one-hour check-in with your Headstream guide and bi-weekly cohort calls).
- Headstream will match innovators with a youth advisory board as part of the initiative to establish meaningful relationships and better products that fulfill the needs of young people. It is the innovator’s obligation to arrive with activities and ideas for capturing and incorporating young input into their invention.
