Philly Startup Leaders launching accelerators for cannabis industry, ethical entrepreneurship

Philly Startup Leaders is scrapping its programming lineup and launching a new set of startup accelerators focused on the cannabis industry and ethical entrepreneurship.

The nonprofit will launch its two new accelerators in the spring, with 10 spots open for each program. Applications for the “Cannabiz” accelerator opened last week, and the ethical entrepreneurship application window will open Jan. 10.

Philly Startup Leaders’ flagship idea-stage accelerator, Founded in Philly Series I, will have its 10-week format replaced by a workshop program scheduled for the weekend of Feb. 18. It will kick off two other accelerators in the fall focused on industrial innovation and consumer packaged goods.
