We believe that Christian entrepreneurs who are spiritually serious, culturally astute, and in community are uniquely suited to leverage the power of business for the good of their neighbors—building sustainable ventures that renew culture, bless their people and partners, and embody the love and grace of the gospel.
Through our flagship Business Accelerator program, we help entrepreneurs become deeply formed as redemptive leaders who guide their ventures to become more effective, more profitable, and more redemptive in their impact.
This mentorship-driven, non-residential program equips founders of top ventures as they innovate in their industries. We accept just 12 startups every year, with up to two leaders (known as Praxis Fellows) per venture.
Unlike many conventional accelerators, the Praxis Business Accelerator is fee-based—we do not invest directly in the ventures in the program. This approach allows us to focus on creating value for our Fellows and community, rather than capturing value for our organization; and enables the supportive, transparent, founder-focused ethos that is so prized by our Fellows and alumni.

What Praxis offers
During and beyond their participation in the Business Accelerator, Praxis supports the growth, health, and impact of new ventures by equipping entrepreneurs in five critical areas.


Program Content
Each Accelerator program event is customized to the needs of the Fellows and the expertise of the mentors.
Together we work through the Redemptive Business Playbook and the Praxis Rule of Life for Redemptive Entrepreneurs. We also draw from a library of over 150 topics (briefly sampled here) for supplemental talks, workshops, and breakouts that leverage each mentor's areas of knowledge and passion.
With every component of the program content—whether it’s about leadership, strategy, or execution—we apply best practices, share personal experiences, and push the redemptive edge of the topic.

program fees
Through our generous donors, we are able to subsidize most of our actual costs to deliver the Accelerator program. Fellows routinely rate the program as delivering exceptional value and impact.
The fee includes all food and accommodations for roughly ten days at the three in-person events, plus program materials and access to all the elements described above.
BUSINESS FELLOWSHIP — $8,000
ADDITIONAL SEAT (for 2nd Fellow) — $3,000
Due to program size and venue commitments, if for any reason a Fellow cannot participate in a portion of the program, the fees are nonrefundable (even in extenuating circumstances).
