Learn About Our Unique Silicon Valley Accelerator for Women’s Tech Startups

Watch Us In Action

You are more than just a woman.

You are a leader, a visionary, a CEO, a changemaker.

Striving is in your DNA.

You are more,
You have to be,
You know the need to work harder, achieve greater.
We do too.

We are more than just an accelerator.

We are your companions on a long journey.

We grew tired of the traditional model
Of startup growth over purpose or people.

Startups begin with you and we put you at the core of what we do.
We know your unique challenges.

You’ve earned what you’ve achieved.

You’ve overcome more
Than so many could fathom.

We know your distinctive strengths, ideas, and resilience,
What makes you the one to lead.

Because there is no excuse but to succeed.
We’ve been there.

Come and create your startup as you see fit,
Challenged by the best in the Valley.

Be the founder who starts the spark
Lighting the way with inner conviction because you know

You are on the right path.
Walk tall,
wise to the champions behind you

And alongside those growing into their purpose.

Feel your strength, fortify it in others.

Breathe in deep with integrity, create the space for unfurling.

Savor the inner unstoppable, enlarge the circle of impact.

Hear from those who believe in you, lend an ear to your peers:

I went to two other accelerators.  WSLab's accelerator is so valuable because the level of advisors and instructors is so high.  You get tailored, customized advice because of the small group size.

CEO & Founder Stylelend

I went to a big name accelerator with a cohort of over a hundred. I felt anonymous - just another face in the crowd. This was so unlike my Women’s Startup Lab where the advisors, VCs and big Silicon Valley names, really took the time to get to know us and our startups. Years later, I can still reach out to those advisors.
