Scaling a technology company is rarely straightforward. Capital requirements are high, development cycles are long, and the pressure to show progress is constant. Building in this space without the right support and connections makes it harder than it needs to be.
Accelerate ALX gives Alexandria founders the hands-on support and ecosystem connections to take the next step in scaling their tech venture.
Accelerate ALX is a hybrid program for Alexandria-based, high-growth technology startups operating in select verticals, ready to take the next step in scaling their business.
→ No cost, no equity taken.
→ Runs July through December 2026.
You will be matched with industry mentors, subject matter experts, and advisors based on your company's stage, specific goals, and challenges. These are ongoing conversations and tailored support to inform your commercialization plan and guide you through the next steps you need to take to move your technology forward.
Workshops cover the topics most relevant to where your company is headed, and may include go-to-market strategy, investor readiness, pitch coaching, and federal market navigation.
Connect with Alexandria's and the region's innovation infrastructure, including economic development partners, research, and federal institutions. Where relevant, we'll facilitate warm introductions to potential customers, prime contractors, and investors.
We encourage founders from all backgrounds to apply, including veterans, women, and individuals from across the City’s neighborhoods.
