Student Entrepreneur Acceleration & Launch (SEAL) is the capstone accelerator program at UT Austin as it drives the top startups from across campus to confront the next market-defined go or no-go decision.

SEAL matches each team with industry-specific mentors and leads discussions with experienced entrepreneurs and technical experts to get the real-world insights on the most common early stage Go / No-Go decisions.

We invite you to attend our in-person Decision Day on August 3rd from 1-4 pm CST.

This event is free and open to the public.

ABOUT SEAL

Now in its 14th year, alumni have raised over $200M in investment and generated over $500M in value. Notable alumni include 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.

Most startups participating in SEAL have removed significant scientific or technical risk through lab prototypes, pilot deployments, or early sales. Given that, most Go / No-Go Decisions center on “scalability” questions around the core business model components.
