BK-XL: Brooklyn Accelerator

BK-XL is an early-stage, industry-agnostic startup accelerator program based in Brooklyn, focused on supporting underrepresented founders. Powered by the Joe and Clara Tsai Foundation's Social Justice Fund, the program provides selected companies with capital, a 10-week immersion program with office space in Industry City, and ongoing mentorship. The accelerator was created by Clara Wu Tsai to address the lack of institutional investment for diverse entrepreneurs in Brooklyn.
