The Rock Accelerator is a 5-month immersive entrepreneurship program that provides $5k in seed funding, dedicated mentors, and a peer community to support student founders. It is open to current HBS students and seed-stage companies that have progressed beyond the initial idea stage. Applicants submit a multimedia application by January 30th, and finalists will do a live pitch on February 10th. Selection will be based on the idea, impact, experimentation plan, and execution ability. Participants must commit to the kickoff event, 4 workshops, bi-weekly mentor check-ins, and sharing their experiences.
