Applications for Keel Cohort 3.0 are now open! Keel is the NYC accelerator. We believe that young people consistently build extraordinary companies, are inadequately served by today's accelerator market, and have no home east of San Francisco. Keel Cohort 3.0 is: 🏙️ Hosted in NYC. Summer 2026. 12 weeks in-person at our NYC office. 🦄 12 teams. Campus + recent-grad AI founders. 🚀 $150K checks. Credits and resources. Founder friendly terms.

@brentsmith1024 @Harvard Proud of you brother! Massive things ahead for Keel!!

Introducing Keel Cohort 2.0. 4 weeks ago, I graduated from @Harvard. Today, I’m excited to announce Keel Cohort 2.0 — the premier early-stage AI accelerator in NYC. This summer, we’re backing 12 AI teams — 20 founders from 10 top schools. We’re running a 9-week program in our beautiful @Convene office in midtown, partnering with dozens of NYC AI leaders and throwing the best venture events in NYC — like our welcome week boat party. We believe the accelerator market is broken. Top founders should not dilute 7-10% at pre-seed in a virtual/hybrid accelerator. And we believe NYC will be home to some of the most important companies in the age of AI — and it’ll need a program like Keel to make that happen. Thank you to Convene, Citizens Bank, Gunderson, all our amazing LPs, our 20+ NYC-based mentors, @nathanleexyz, and especially our founders for making this happen. Keel and the NYC startup ecosystem are here to stay and win because of you🚀 Keel Cohort 2.0 is happening now. If you’re a founder in NYC, DM me!

“If you’re so smart, why aren’t you rich?” Getting rich requires risk. Taking risks requires stupidity to the degree that you actually believe you could pull it off. Logical thinkers and "high IQ" people overthink things to actually take those risks.

Head coach Paul Wulff has brought in two new assistant coaches while adjusting the roles of some current ones. Learn about the changes ⬇️ #RideHigh gopoly.com/news/2025/2/10…
