Phase II: Accelerate

Incubate builds skills you can use wherever you go. Once you complete it, you can continue into Accelerate, the six-month second phase of Praxis, on one of two tracks: Career Launch Track or Entrepreneur Track. In week 5, you'll tell us which direction you're leaning, or that you don't know yet. Moving on to Accelerate depends on the effort and readiness you show in Incubate.

I began Incubate believing that I needed to find the right path before I could start walking. I left realizing that I could start walking and learn more about the path along the way. ... I have the confidence and building blocks to build the self-starting career I want.

It was a great learning environment all through the program. To have someone leading me through the program, peers to look to for inspiration, and a great mentor; it creates an environment for growth.

Frequently Asked Questions

Who is Incubate for?

Incubate is designed for ambitious young adults who know they’re capable of more and want to get clear on the future they want to build while gaining the confidence and tools to take ownership of making it happen.

Do I need to know what career I want?

No. You do not need to have your career figured out before joining Incubate. The program will help you better understand yourself, explore what matters to you, and gain clarity on the future you want to start building.

Is Incubate a career-training program?

Incubate starts with personal development rather than training you for a specific career. Professional development and career preparation come in Accelerate, the second phase of the experience.

When do I have to decide which Accelerate track I should join?

You'll first tell us your preference in Week 5 of Incubate. If you're not sure yet, choose "I don't know yet" and your program lead will reach out to help you think it through.

You'll make your choice when you enroll in Accelerate, via a checkbox on the payment form. We ask before Accelerate starts so we can match you with a mentor who fits your track and will stay with you the whole way. This also gives you the chance to go through the program with an eye for your end goal, whether that's landing a job or launching a business.

Both tracks start with the same nine weeks of business foundations. The specific tracks begin in Week 10, so everything you do in the first nine weeks applies to either track.

What if I want to switch tracks at some point in Accelerate?

Please choose carefully, since your mentor and cohort are set up around your track. Both tracks share the first nine weeks of business foundations, so if you're having second thoughts, talk to your program lead as early as you can.

Once your track begins in Week 10, you can't switch. Joining a new track partway through would put you behind your new cohort and disrupt your mentor relationship.

If your track starts to feel challenging, that's normal. Both tracks are designed to stretch you. Talk to your program lead and your mentor. They're there to provide you with support.

What does a week actually look like?

Each week follows a clear rhythm and requires about 10 to 15 hours. On Monday, the week’s curriculum unlocks, and you can work through it on your own schedule. You will also join your cohort for one live, hour-long call at the same scheduled time each week. Your deliverable for the week is due on Sunday.

Can I do Incubate alongside a job or school?

Yes. Incubate is designed to fit alongside a job, school, or other commitments. Plan to dedicate about 10 to 15 hours per week. Most of that time is flexible and can be completed on your own schedule, with one live cohort call each week that lasts about an hour.

The future you want starts with who you become.

Build the self-awareness, confidence, habits, and community to take ownership of your life and what comes next.
