Project 2.8 is a New York-based accelerator for pre-seed and early-stage, female-led startups founded by Columbia University alumnae. Founded by Columbia Venture Community, it runs an eight-week virtual program with workshops, pitch training, mentorship, community and network support, and investor visibility. The program is industry agnostic, focuses on underrepresented and women founders, and does not currently invest in or take equity from participating companies.
