CCEI’s Summer Fellowship Accelerator takes place June 2, 2025 through July 31, 2025 with selected startups spending three days a week over eight weeks taking a deep dive into their business with the support of mentors, industry experts, and experienced entrepreneurs. These sessions help educate program participants on how to define their business, build their brand, and launch their venture, all while building a community with the other entrepreneurs participating in the program.
The highly-competitive program only selects 10 startups to participate each year. As part of the program, these startups receive:
$15,000 (non-equity, non-diluting) in funding for business development; up to $5,000 (per student) can be used to pay a member of the team (current UConn student or recent UConn graduate).
Pro-bono legal, accounting, product development and branding services, and waived bank fees to assist in the proper establishment of your business and deciding how you want to structure your venture.
One-on-one mentoring and guidance from industry experts and experienced entrepreneurs.
Expert-led sessions covering all scaling fundamentals – go to market strategy, pitch compilation, sales and fundraising, to name a few.
End-of-program demo day, where five teams advance to CCEI’s Wolff New Venture Competition to compete for $115,000+ in funding.
CCEI Summer Fellowship alumni have gone on to raise over $316 million in follow-on funding, have been selected to participate in accelerators like Techstars and Mass Challenge, have been named Thiel Fellows, and more.
