Overview
What they do
GitHub Accelerator is a 10-week cohort-based program supporting open source developers working full-time on their projects. The program focuses on themes such as advancing AI in the open, and offers participants instruction, guided workshops, and homework. Participants gain access to a diverse community of builders, mentorship from community members and GitHub staff in areas like open source, AI, security, fundraising, and business, as well as increased visibility through GitHub channels and events including a Demo Day. The accelerator aims to pioneer new ways for developers to simply and sustainably work in open source full-time on their own terms.
