UT ANALYTICS ACCELERATOR
Transforming Ideas Into Businesses

About the Meetup

The UT Analytics Accelerator is an analytics-driven incubator program for entrepreneurs at the University of Texas at Austin. This initiative is designed to revolutionize the start-up culture at UT Austin. Our aim is to shift the focus from presentation-oriented start-up culture to a culture that nurtures ideas into potential businesses.

 

Through this program, entrepreneurs will gain access to the skills, resources, and support to develop ideas into businesses. The meetup seeks to bring students, industry experts, investors and faculty together to facilitate mentorship, funding, academic support, and networking. The main focus is on long-term engagement with startup ideas, from conception to execution.
