Meet the Cohort: PSL's Idea-Stage Accelerator

Published: Thu, 02/18/21

Our Founded in Philly Series I Accelerator program, designed for idea-stage entrepreneurs, kicked off on Tuesday, February 9. During our first session, the 20 participating entrepreneurs took the time to reflect on their "WHY," diving deeper into their mission, vision and reasons for bringing their ideas to life. Head to the PSL Blog for more about these incredibly innovative founders, their world-changing ideas, and the speakers, mentors and partners who support them every step of the way.
