Moonshot Disability Accelerator Initiative

The Moonshot Disability Accelerator Initiative aims to become a global hub for building a thriving disability innovation ecosystem and rising entrepreneurial class of people with disabilities worldwide.

10
Accelerators 

6
Countries

220
Early-stage
Companies

The Moonshot has 10 global accelerator partners in 6 countries that leverage principles of inclusive and universal design and accessibility in their models.

Through this initiative, we will identify and support cohorts in these accelerators that will, in turn, support and mentor approximately 220 early-stage companies across the globe. In addition, we plan to deploy catalytic, seed-stage investments into companies in the moonshot’s accelerator cohorts.
