5th Cohort of Upstart Alpha Launching Soon!

A cohort-based program that works with the earliest-stage entrepreneurs in Alaska. Interested? All you need is an idea!

The Ideal Applicant:

  • You must be based in Alaska. We believe in building strong local entrepreneur ecosystems.

  • You must be early stage. Pre-revenue? Great. Just an idea? No problem.

  • We love University of Alaska students! But, it’s not a requirement, and we welcome all.

  • We welcome applicants from diverse backgrounds; supporting women entrepreneurs and entrepreneurs of color is important to this program and our state's economic future.

  • 2-hour course on Fridays from 11-1 pm

    • Discuss your progress for the week with the cohort

    • Learn a skill related to building and growing your business
