On May 24, 2022, the UMSL Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion Accelerator showcased its second annual cohort of founders to investors, clients, customers, enthusiasts, industry experts, and media from across the country. Demo Day was a culmination of workshops, hands-on sessions, roundtables and mentoring the cohort participated in over the last several weeks.
For this cohort of the UMSL Diversity, Equity & Inclusion Accelerator, five founders each received $50,000 in non-dilutive capital, access to a best-in-class business development program, technology support, direct resources and more. Demo Day celebrated not only these founders but also positive strides toward diversity in the startup ecosystem.
