For Accelerators & VCs

Empowering founders in the age of AI.

MLH Accelerate delivers curated technical programming and elite mentorship, educating and supporting startup founders and teams to build faster and smarter with AI.

Hero Image — Founders Building Together

Founders get plenty of programming and mentorship to learn and do GTM and fundraising. MLH fills the technical gap, so founders can build what customers want to buy.

Velocity

Keeping up with AI can feel impossible. We deliver the latest information from top-tier mentors, right inside your program, in a format founders get excited about.

For the builders

Startups already get world-class support on the business side. We make sure their tech stack, workflows, and product get the attention they deserve, too.

The New Founder

Startups today look different. "Non-technical" CEOs build products and raise capital without a CTO. MLH serves the historically underserved CTOs and solo CEOs who need to go from prototype to customer-ready production.

🚫 Not a Workshop

This is a shipping event. Founders leave with features in production — not slides in their inbox.

How It Works

Build Sprints

Nowadays, 4 hours is enough to ship core product work or master a new tool. "Choose your own adventure" approach allows the structure to produce results and the flexibility to meet each founder and their team where they are.

Elite Mentorship

MLH Coaches, team members, and tech partners are in the room and engaged. We share knowledge and advice through mentor office hours and provide hands-on help to unblock their work and ensure they ship something meaningful. Relationships built here are intended to extend well beyond the day.

Personalized

We do our homework before we show up. Using your existing investor materials (Look Book, etc) and optional intake surveys, we understand their stack, stage, and space. We build the session around what they actually need. No generic, irrelevant, or sponsor-required content.

Career-Long Connections

Benefits beyond the build. Founders can establish sustainable relationships with our Team, Coaches, and tech partners. This means ongoing mentorship as they need it and a personal, inside route to the companies whose tech powers their startups.

Our "AI Roadshow" series demonstrates our appeal beyond university hackathons. Attendees — professional devs and students alike — left enthusiastic.

MLH started serving students 13 years ago. Today, our community represents the next generation of founders.

The people who learned to ship fast at MLH hackathons are building tomorrow's startups.

The MLH Team

People founders actually want in the room.

Seasoned founders, hackers, and startup operators with track records and the scars to match. We know founders learn best from people they respect — and that's exactly who we are.
