Immerse is a 10-week, fully-funded virtual residency program for Black startup founders and entrepreneurs. It aims to help early-stage entrepreneurs build their products efficiently and with speed, starting with their first high-fidelity MVP. The program connects participants to the tech ecosystem, coaches them through business and product fundamentals, and provides tools and frameworks beyond Demo Day. Immerse was created to address the historical disparities in tech funding and software creation, particularly for underrepresented minorities in tech. It empowers founders of color to take control of building their products without needing external developers or engineers. The program has hosted successful cohorts with diverse founders from various geographies and industries, and offers a range of benefits, including prizes for best pitch, product, and fan favorite presentations.
