May wrap-up

It’s Not Goodbye—

Our 10th Bootcamp (and most diverse group yet) united 26 founders in tech, marketing & branding, fashion and wellness for our signature 5-day intensive which culminated on May 2nd with pitch presentations & a happy hour. Each year we are absolutely blown away by the dedication the founders have to showing up for themselves and each other during this five day intensive. Through 1:1 sessions with Ascender’s Office Hour Experts and peer-to-peer learning, our cohort made impressive strides to move their businesses forward. Congratulations to everyone who made it to the finish line and led a successful final pitch presentation!

Meet the Spring 2026 Bootcamp Cohort

Additionally, Ascender has able to for the first time ever- offer reduced price memberships to the cohort, thanks to our sponsors at Tippins Foundation. This will allow those looking to continue their founder journey to maintain their access to our team of experts, workspace and their new community.
