Spire is Penn's premier social-impact startup accelerator. Each year we guide a cohort of student-led startups through the early stages of building a business. Our accelerator culminates in a pitch competition judged by an assortment of angel investors, VCs, and veteran entrepreneurs, held at the end of each fall semester. Our mission is to help founders establish their ventures, so they can go on to raise funding and gain traction.
