Ventures are understood to enter the program in their own place and with distinct needs. While attending all 10 required virtual weekly sessions, ventures (nonprofit or for profit) will otherwise proceed through their own identified milestones at their own pace. Mentors and instructors will provide personalized content, and conversations within and across teams will be prioritized to democratize the learning environment.
The Baltipreneurs Accelerator extends through the entire school year, providing participants with an extended time frame for feedback, reflection, opportunities for failure, and to react and build. Formal learning modules end in February, but ongoing coaching and collaboration continue so participants can hone their ask before appearing in front of the community and receiving their final score and awards at Demo Day in the spring.

The Baltipreneurs Accelerator will consider ventures:
- Led by passionate, committed entrepreneurs including Loyola University Maryland students, faculty, or staff, and residents operating in the city of Baltimore.
- Preference to founders who identify as underrepresented entrepreneurs, including but not limited to women entrepreneurs, entrepreneurs of color, entrepreneurs with disabilities, or veteran entrepreneurs
- Entrepreneurs representing all industries and market sizes both pre- or post-revenue will be considered
