Since 2014, Expert DOJO has worked with over 500 startups to accelerate their growth and success, positioning us as the fastest growing start-up accelerator in Southern California. There are thousands of accelerators out there, but what makes Expert DOJO different is our community and our commitment to start ups’ success.
OUR MISSION
We currently assist entrepreneurs through four, distinct programs:
Growth Studio
Our growth studio is a monthly, paid program with various levels of commitment. The programs vary from access to our online courses to one-on-one, curated meetings with our investors.
Accelerator
The domestic accelerator program is designed to help you get to your next round as we work with you on the milestones needed to get there. This includes an investment of $50K.
International Accelerator
Our international accelerator program is a 12-week, fully-immersive program in which 20 international companies move to Silicon Beach, benefiting from US business training as well as comprehensive network opportunities. For twelve weeks, chosen companies will be immersed in the unique ecosystem that makes up Silicon Beach, accessing American venture capital and gaining a competitive advantage to set them apart from the rest. Startups will receive a total investment of $100K including 20K in program fees.
Venture Studio
This program is ideal for companies who aren’t an appropriate fit for our accelerator programs. In exchange for a small equity stake (between 2-10%), Expert DOJO will commit to connecting you to our investor community to raise follow on investment. This is a much smaller, niche program.
