We’re not your typical startup accelerator
In fact, we’re anything but typical. Our startup accelerator pushes founders to their limits mentally and physically, only to come out the other end stronger and better prepared to tackle the challenges of creating an extraordinary business.
Startups will be provided housing to live amongst other entrepreneurs. We believe that when entrepreneurs live amongst each other that these collisions foster innovation by opening up the entrepreneurs’ minds to other ways of thinking.
Your success is our success, and our team will act as additional team members to help set your company up for success.
Startups will leave with a toolbelt of resources, knowledge, and connections to continue to thrive after a one-of-a-kind experience.

DSH Accelerator is changing the game
“The entire Draper Startup House team are phenomenal! They really care about every individual company within the cohort and really dig deep into their own experience and connections to help you along the way. And they didn't forget to make it enjoyable for us along the way either. Out of all the accelerators we did, I'd rank this one right at the top! Can't recommend them enough.”
Naor Amir. Founder of CityGuydPilot Accelerator Program 2022
“It’s hard to write out my honest thoughts without making it sound cheesy, but this truly was an amazing experience. I’ve heard a lot about accelerators and have kind of been lead to believe that they’re a waste of time, but this was unbelievably valuable. Was not expecting so many great lessons, speakers, and connections. Will endlessly recommend other founders to the Draper Startup House.”
Nathaniel Gerdes, Founder of WititPilot Accelerator Program 2022
“Participating in Draper Startup House Accelerator has made all the difference in my business. I have an MVP, a go-to-market strategy, and strong relationships with top-tier investors and mentors. Getting in on the ground floor of this prestigious program was a game changing experience.”
Hunter Hodnett, Founder of CottagePilot Accelerator Program 2022
“If you want an accelerator that is intentional in how they operate and will do anything for you. Join Draper Startup House.”
Zerryn Gines, Peep ConnectPilot Accelerator Program 2022
“DSHA has been an incredibly intentional, transformative experience. We are so proud to be a portfolio company in the first cohort, and cannot recommend DSHA enough to any prospective startups looking to accelerate their brand and make an impact on the world.”
