SKU Program Application

Welcome to SKU! We educate and equip companies with market-validated products for growth into world-class brands.

SKU surrounds stellar startups with tailored mentor teams for our 14 week intensive program that provides exclusive insider access to industry leaders, key retailers, and the tools necessary to accelerate smarter, faster growth. Companies admitted into the program receive hands-on mentorship from industry experts, investors, and serial entrepreneurs in exchange for a small equity stake (3-6%) in each company. Equity stakes vary by program, and is based on 12-month trailing revenue for SKU DFW.

At the end of our program, companies present at our Showcase Day, a pitch event for local investors and VCs to see the startups in action. A cash bonus upon completion of the program of $20,000 is available. Apply today and be part of the nation's leading consumer packaged goods accelerator.
