Bronco Ventures Accelerator

Bronco Ventures Accelerator (BVA) is a program at Santa Clara University (SCU) that empowers SCU entrepreneurs, including graduates, faculty, staff, and students. The industry-agnostic accelerator runs from July to October and provides a focused curriculum, mentorship, and workshops. The program concludes with a Demo Day where teams pitch to investors. The most promising companies that enter the BVA may receive early investment from the associated Bronco Venture Fund, a separate $10 million venture fund. Participants in the accelerator receive a non-dilutive cash stipend to help with business expenses.
