Apply to the HGL6 Accelerator

As part of the 2023 Accelerator, you'll receive four months of in-person and virtual programming, individualized coaching, tailored buyer introductions, investment, and promotion — all designed to help you rapidly scale and successfully integrate into the political tech ecosystem. You'll also join an incredible community of political tech founders and get matched with expert mentors. Read about how it all works here.

Our portfolio company founders often cite the HGL Accelerator as a key component of their company's success. Here's what they say:

Higher Ground Labs has been our partner, advocate, and accelerator in the truest sense of the word since day one at Avalanche. They challenge us, asking hard questions and making us better. They champion us, promoting us to their network and bringing in experts to help. They charge us up, with thought partnership and community. If you are building technology for social or political good — you couldn't ask for better investment partners.
—Tovah Paglaro | Co-founder & COO, Avalanche Insights (HGL2)

The program and people at Higher Ground Labs assisted us in innumerable ways. After graduating from the HGL5 accelerator, INTRVL was able to improve performance for millions of media dollars spent on programs during the fall midterms. HGL opened a number of doors that made INTRVL's first election cycle the success that it was. If you're creating something special and looking for a skilled, multidisciplinary team to forge what you are building into lasting infrastructure, I highly recommend you apply.
—Steven McAlpine | Co-founder & CEO, INTRVL (HGL5)
