Our Impact

After the accelerator, I felt more comfortable expressing my identity in the workplace, more inspired, [and] clearer on my long-term goals.

Jiaqi, Wโ€™22 Fellow

I made so many connections, and already scheduled a follow-up call with a speaker. Lunar Accel was like a weekly dose of inspiration.

Esther, Wโ€™22 Fellow

I absolutely LOVED my mentor - he really went above and beyond to extend our relationship beyond the program, and give really valuable, hands-on advice.
