Housed in the Texas Medical Center's new 100,000 square foot Innovation Institute (TMCx), the summer accelerator is an intensive, 3 month program operated in collaboration with Rice University's startup accelerator, OwlSpark. The summer accelerator (Class 4) begins on May 23rd, 2016 and concludes with the Bayou Startup Showcase.
During the summer accelerator, RED Labs works with founders full time to launch and grow their startups. RED Labs offers co-working space at TMCx and access to mentors from Houston's technology startup ecosystem. Founders are required to attend sessions on topics such as funding, legal considerations, building a team, and other material that RED Labs has developed for early-stage founders. They also bring in successful entrepreneurs to recount their experiences and helpful lessons learned.
The Summer Accelerator Culminates in the Bayou Startup Showcase, which is a combined presentation of the companies coming out of both the RED Labs and OwlSpark accelerators. All members of the Houston entrepreneurial ecosystem are invited to register and go to the event.
