We’re excited to introduce the Fall 2025 Cohort of the InFlight Accelerator—our program built for founders who’ve proven their business works but need help making it scale. This cohort brings together 19 companies led by entrepreneurs who’ve moved past startup survival mode and are ready to build systems that drive sustainable growth.
These aren’t early-stage founders figuring out product-market fit. These are established businesses generating revenue, serving customers, and hitting walls that require strategic thinking rather than hustle. They need operational expertise, not motivation.

What’s Next?
Over the next 12 weeks, these founders will focus on the fundamentals that separate surviving businesses from scaling ones: operational systems, team management, financial planning, and strategic growth. They’ll work with mentors who’ve built companies past the revenue thresholds they’re targeting.
This isn’t about pivoting or finding new customers. It’s about building the infrastructure needed to serve more customers without breaking what’s already working.
Want to connect with any of these founders? They’re running proven businesses across industries from healthcare to technology to consumer products. These companies are past the experimental stage—they’re ready for partnerships, investment, and strategic relationships.
Ready to Join the Next Cohort?
If you’ve built a business that works but can’t figure out how to make it scale without burning out, InFlight might be exactly what you need. Apply for our next cohort.
This program is supported by our partners EO Nashville, Launch Tennessee, and Metro Government of Nashville Davidson County.
The InFlight Accelerator is a 12-week program designed for growth-stage companies with $100K-$1M revenue and 3-8 team members hitting operational walls. Applications for Spring 2026 open in November 2025.
