About the program

Built for the founders the ecosystem overlooks

SEED Inclusivity is a venture accelerator scaling solutions that address the needs of the disability community. Starting in Asia-Pacific, it backs businesses with a real track record in accessible technology and beyond. Open to everyone, with priority for founders with disabilities, especially women founders.

Every venture runs the same six-month journey: selection, an in-person bootcamp, around twenty-four coaching sessions on a SMART goals framework, and a Demo Day in front of investors, then ongoing alumni support.

In Cohort 2, that meant founders rebuilding their pitch decks with mentors, validating new B2B markets, and bringing on partnerships, then putting it all in front of investors at Demo Day in Jakarta.

  • 1-on-1 mentoring with disability-inclusion experts
  • Around 24 coaching sessions applying the SMART™ Methodology, then Demo Day in front of investors
  • Access to Seedstars' network of 500+ entrepreneurs, investors, and partners
