📣We’re excited to announce Snaps has been accepted into the SEAL 2024 cohort! Snaps seeks to add a touch of personality to everyday footwear through our customized sneaker charms. Now in its sixteenth year, SEAL is the capstone accelerator program at UT Austin, designed for founders with validated concepts ready to scale their venture’s operations, governance, and capital structure. Over nine weeks, founders participate in bi-weekly seminars led by entrepreneurs, professionals, and investors, preparing them to fundraise and scale. The SEAL program matches teams with mentors and interns to work toward market-driven SMART goals, culminating in a final Decision Day at Capital Factory, where teams pitch their fundraising strategy and planned pivots based on their summer learnings. SEAL alumni have raised over $200M in investment and generated over $500M in value, with notable alumni including Favor (acquired by HEB), M87 (acquired by XCOM), Lynx Labs (acquired by Occipital), Accordion Health (acquired by Evolent Health), Disco Learning Media (acquired by ProBility Media), Ordoro, Rabbet, Apptronik, EQO, Flo Recruit, and Elite Sweets. We are thrilled to be part of such a prestigious program and can't wait to "SEAL the deal" this summer! 🚀 #SEAL2024 #VerifiedCarbon #Startups #Entrepreneurship #UTAustin #CapitalFactory #Innovation #Scaling #Fundraising #Mentorship
