Access Mode Inc

Located in Colorado, our organization has programming that is available to exceptional tech-driven BIPOC founders who are at the prototype stage. We provide $20,000 in equity-free funding to accepted startups, as well as mentoring that is customized to each company. Startups may be incorporated or not and have revenue or not. They may have raised funding, be currently raising, or not raising funds.

In six months or less, Access Mode delivers scalable impact, focused on propelling companies from the prototype stage to paid customer engagement.

At the end of the program, founders have lifelong membership in an alumni network providing support for the entire entrepreneurial journey.

The founders of Access Mode are entrepreneurs of color who have expertise in both startups and the corporate environment gained through decades of experience in tech, marketing, legal, and finance. Their personal experiences of removing roadblocks in their own careers motivated them to work to open doors of opportunity for Black, Latino, Asian American and Pacific Islander, and Indigenous tech founders in Colorado and beyond.
