BIC Founders Accelerator
Build What Matters. Where It Matters.
Why We Built the Stage 2 Accelerator
We launched in 2022 to close a gap: helping technical teams with working prototypes gain the tools, expertise, and network to scale. We're not chasing unicorns. We back mission-driven startups solving real-world problems.
Four years in, we've found the harder bottleneck. Traction creates decisions no prototype prepares a founder for. What to say yes to. What to hand off. What kind of company this is becoming.
The Governing Founder
Over six months, founders examine the experience they already carry, gain a precise vocabulary for how they think and decide, and build the intelligence to govern under uncertainty.
The outcome is a founder who can make consequential calls and account for the reasoning behind them — to a board, a customer, a co-founder, or themselves. That's what keeps a company coherent as it scales.
No cost to selected startups. No equity taken.
