Founders who participated in our Accelerator repeatedly told us how valuable the connections were that they made with other founders. So we thought why not develop a program that does just that. Our DSH Experiences bring founders together to bode connections, learn from each other and pave the way for great things.
THE POP UP EXPERIENCE
Experience your industry in a whole new way
Our Pop-Up Experiences provide a unique environment for founders to get the most from collaboration and connection with other founders. Each Experience spans 2 weeks and focuses on startups in a particular industry.
Founders reside together for the duration of the Experience. Each Experience takes place in a different city, where up to 15 founders are selected to attend. The DSH team facilitates light programming and activities, including industry speakers and special events.
With each Experience, one lucky founder is selected to attend free of charge.
Not only do our Experiences provide founders with a way to connect and grow their startup, but they are a prime way to get exposure to the DSH team in a less intensive setting, for those who are interested in applying to our Accelerator program.
We look for:
- Exceptional People
- Extraordinary, Out-of-the-Box and Unconventional Ideas
- Startups in specific industries
An Overview of Our Experiences
5-15 founders will attend each Experience. Participants will live amongst other founders to foster innovation and an expansion of ideas. Still have questions? Check out our FAQs.
