Taking a startup from idea to reality is a daunting process. The Buerk Center for Entrepreneurship’s Jones + Foster Accelerator, now in its fifth year, helps student-led startups navigate that process with six-months of mentoring from Seattle entrepreneurs and investors, a framework for defining measurable milestones, guidance in achieving those milestones, and the opportunity to earn up to $25,000 in follow-on funding.

Twenty-nine companies have completed the Jones + Foster Accelerator program since it began in 2010. Twenty-five of them are still in business today, raising millions in fundingbecoming household namesforming partnerships with celebrity foundations, and winning prestigious awards.

The 10 companies accepted into the 2015 Jones + Foster Accelerator cohort run the gamut, from clean technology to healthcare innovation to peer-to-peer commerce. The one thing they all have in common is a great idea, and the drive to turn that idea into a successful venture. Over the next six months, these startups will polish their pitches, raise early-stage funding, manufacture their products, build marketing strategies. Each milestone they hit will bring them a few steps closer to their startup goals. We can’t wait to see what these student entrepreneurs can achieve!
