DivInc is proud to announce our Spring 2022 Social Justice Innovation Accelerator cohort, made possible through support from title sponsor Ascension Seton.

Over the next 12 weeks we will share more about each founder and company as they partner with us to build their thriving business while also addressing inequities and disparities caused by institutionalized bias and racism.

Special thanks to our supporting sponsors Visible and Verizon, as well as our Austin premier partners Bank of America and JPMorgan Chase & Co.

Get to know cohort 9 below!
