Most programs run on a website builder, a form tool, six spreadsheets, and hope. StartWise replaces the whole stack — and your founders graduate onto the same platform they’ll raise on.

University mode

Accelerator or university launchpad — same engine, your language

Flip your program type and the whole product speaks your world: cohorts become semesters, founders become student teams, mentors become advisors, investment becomes grants, Demo Day becomes Showcase — with university-specific sections like Grants and Outcomes.

  • Accelerator, university, or mixed — switchable in settings
  • University mode adds Grants, Outcomes, and program sections
  • Nothing is deleted when you switch — sections are just re-shaped

  • Add ventures to your portfolio in seconds
  • One claim invite gives the founder their account and tools
  • Choose your billing preference — program-sponsored or founder-paid
