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.
