“

Whether your first venture grows, changes direction, or teaches you what to build next, you'll leave with something you couldn't get from studying entrepreneurship alone: firsthand experience doing it.

Building a business means dealing with uncertainty. Not every assumption will be right, not every experiment will work, and not every first idea will be the one worth pursuing long term. That's part of the experience.

What real Praxians have to say.

“

I have had my whole perspective of the career world turned upside down. ... I feel more than ever empowered to go out and forge a path for myself. Most importantly, I have the agency to pitch myself directly to someone, rather than having my name drawn by chance out of a hat of candidates.

Benjamin NalePraxis Participant
“

I'm a graduate at Praxis and it was the best decision I've made. The team is amazing, the participants and alumni are amazing, the opportunity is amazing. At 18, I was managing sales at a tech startup in Austin TX. My peers were all starting their freshmen year of college while I increased recurring revenue at my Business Partner 5 times over.

Diana ZittingPraxis Participant
“

Through Praxis, I earned something much more valuable to me than a piece of paper: proof. I gained something that many individuals spend their entire lives searching for: freedom. Through Praxis, I learned that I don’t need a degree to signal my skills and competency, and I certainly don’t need to spend four more years in a classroom to discover my passion.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need to already have a business idea?

No. If you already have an idea you want to pursue, you can bring it into the program. If you don't, you can pick a starting point from our idea catalog and begin building from there.

Will I actually launch a business during the program?

The program is designed to take you through the process of building, testing, and launching a real venture. You'll work toward developing an offer, creating an MVP, gathering customer feedback, testing the market, and running a live sales campaign.

What does a week usually look like?

Modules unlock on Monday and you work through them at your own pace. There is one live cohort call each week at a set day and time, and one deliverable due by the end of Sunday. Plan on 10 to 15 hours, and it is built to be doable alongside a job.

Is business success or revenue guaranteed?

No. Building a business involves real market uncertainty, and Praxis does not guarantee that a particular venture will generate revenue or become a successful company. What you will get is the opportunity to move through the real process of entrepreneurship with structure, mentorship, feedback, accountability, and a community building alongside you.

Do I need to complete Incubate first?

Yes. Every Praxis participant begins with Incubate. Finishing it earns a certificate of completion, which is what makes you eligible to apply for an Accelerate track.

How do I get in?

Accelerate Entrepreneurship is by application, not open enrollment. Once you have your Incubate certificate, you apply, and the decision comes down to how you showed up in Incubate: attending the weekly calls, submitting your deliverables, communicating well, and handling yourself professionally. Your Incubate program lead and mentor both weigh in. Tuition is $6,650, and the program terms are here.

Bring your ambition to life.

Build something real. Put it into the market. Learn what happens when you stop thinking about entrepreneurship and start practicing it.
