"This fundraise turns Breakthrough from just being a seasonal accelerator into a lifelong partnership with our founders,"
"Breakthrough's purpose is to fill in the funding and opportunity gap that exists in many of these ecosystems because students have historically lacked access to capital and the networks required to launch their entrepreneurial pursuits,"
"for student founders by student founders."
"Students have enjoyed how we've brought together so many others from different American colleges,"
Roman Scott and Itbaan Nafi launched Breakthrough Ventures after hosting popular Demo Days at Stanford and secured $2 million to expand the program nationally. The accelerator targets college student and recent graduate founders across AI, health, consumer, deep tech, and sustainability sectors. The founders recruited Raihan Ahmed to lead the program and raised funds from Mayfair, Collide Capital, and Stanford alumni founders. The accelerator is specifically built for student founders by student founders and aims to fill funding and network gaps that hinder student entrepreneurship. Breakthrough will operate with a hybrid model for its programming.
