We’re fired up for tomorrow’s Summer Venture Studio accelerator preview day, showcasing the amazing founders from our 4th cohort.🎉 💫This is our first ever Preview Day for the community, and what better place to hold it than Ion District, in partnership with our good friends and partners Rice Alliance for Technology and Entrepreneurship.

Half of all SVS startups graduate into Y Combinator, a16z speedrun, Techstars, Activate or raise a VC round within 6 months of program close. We’ve spent the summer living in the future while watching these incredible founders build their ambitious ventures — and now it’s time for them to ‘go public’ and bring the whole community along for the journey.🚀

Join us tomorrow, starting at 4pm, to see these founders hit escape velocity — register with the link in our bio!🎯
