Inspiring Innovation, Investing in Success

The Telluride Venture Accelerator is the first accelerator focused on outdoor recreation, tourism, natural products, health, energy, water, and education.

We accept three businesses each year and become a partner in your success.

We invest $30,000 (plus up to an additional $8000 for transportation and lodging), surround you with world-class mentoring, and assist with getting follow-on investment.

The Telluride community includes dozens of successful, experienced entrepreneurs eager to lend their expertise as your mentor. The Telluride Venture Accelerator also offers an entrepreneur-in-residence program that brings in high profile entrepreneurs for dedicated mentoring. Specific experts will also be invited as part of our custom mentoring program for participating businesses.
