What is the TNT Accelerator application process?

Apply online at tnt.so/apply. We review applications on a rolling basis and select teams each semester. We look for exceptional teams building venture-scale businesses who are serious about going full-time.

What stage should my startup be at to apply to TNT?

TNT is a pre-seed accelerator. We work with teams at the earliest stages — from idea to early traction. You don't need revenue or a finished product, but you should have a clear vision and a committed team.

How long is the TNT Accelerator program?

Each TNT cohort runs for approximately 10 weeks during the academic semester, culminating in a Demo Day where teams pitch to investors.
