The Desai Accelerator is a joint venture of the Center for Entrepreneurship at the College of Engineering and the Zell Lurie Institute for Entrepreneurship at the Ross School of Business at the University of Michigan. Desai is designed to enable early-stage companies to transition from incubation to fundable enterprises. Our fixed-term, cohort-based program, including mentorship and educational components, was designed to provide startups with critical resources to help them make rapid progress on product and customer development. The program culminates with a Demo Day, where each company pitches to hundreds of angel investors and VCs.
