What Desai alumni say about the program

  • A woman with long blonde hair wearing a yellow blouse standing by a white post outside a red barn. She is smiling and leaning with one hand on the post, with her other hand on her hip.

    “They understood my chaos and somehow delivered exactly what I needed- the growth and relationships that followed were next-level."

    Kim Gamez
    Mi Padrino

  • "The Desai Accelerator was so critical to Revolin's launch and early growth because it surrounded my founding team, who had very little experience, with mentors, interns, capital and a cohort of supportive peers to help us get through the challenge and tactics of launching a business and product. "

    Hugh Davis
    Revolin Sports

  • A young man with dark hair and medium skin tone wearing a white shirt, standing with arms crossed and looking at the camera in an indoor office setting.

    "The discipline, structure, and lifelong community from the University of Michigan’s Desai Accelerator were foundational to XRAY’s early success, and the value of being part of this network continues long after graduation. XRAY simply would not be where it is today without unwavering support that the Desai Accelerator poured into us from day one."
