10 Founders, Endless Wins! Congratulations to Cohort 5!

What an incredible 12 weeks for this fall 2019 accelerator cohort! We're still in awe of the growth and momentum the founders in our 5th cohort have shown in such a short time. The success they're creating right out of the program is a testament to the impact that DivInc has when it's able to provide talented entrepreneurs with access to the resources they need. 

That's what the support of our donors and community makes possible. Thank you!

Here are just a few of the highlights from each company.
