Fast Forward is here to change your trajectory. Since 2014, Fast Forward has helped 100+ tech nonprofits scale through its Accelerator, so they know what works. Through the Accelerator, Fast Forward will connect you with the capital, network, and community you need to scale your impact — both during the program and beyond
About the Accelerator
You’re navigating a unique path as a tech nonprofit founder. From figuring out fundraising to making your first hire, it’s easy to feel like you’re going it alone. But you’re not. The Accelerator is here to help.
Over three months, you’ll perfect your fundraising pitch, build a powerhouse team, and grow your impact. You’ll receive $25K+ in unrestricted funding and expert mentorship from leaders in tech and social impact. The best part? You’ll join a community of founders who’ve been there, done that, and are ready to support you along the way.
The Pitch: Demo Day
Three months culminates in three minutes: Demo Day. After weeks of pitch bootcamp, you’ll take the Demo Day stage. There, you’ll pitch your plan and vision to hundreds of movers in social impact tech. And trust us, you’ll be ready. Not only will you have a tight pitch — you’ll have a polished deck, a compelling mini-documentary, and a packed house of your new biggest fans.

The Fast Forward journey doesn’t end after the Accelerator — it’s just the beginning. Fast Forward call the post-Accelerator stage the Growth Platform. From tailored programming, to peer circles, to one-on-one advising, Fast Forward support never stops. Plus, Fast Forward continue to champion its portfolio to funders to ensure that capital is not a barrier to impact.
