The Herb Kelleher Entrepreneurship Center would like to thank the donors of the Forty Acres Founders Program for their generous support of Texas Entrepreneurs. Our donors fund seats in the accelerator in perpetuity, enabling undergraduate founders to launch startups from a position of strength and confidence. The contributions of these donors will support many generations of Texas Entrepreneurs and will have a significant impact on each founder’s success.

Forty Acres Founders Endowed Excellence Funds were created with the mission to support excellence in undergraduate student entrepreneurship at The University of Texas at Austin. The HKEC and it's donors believe that What Starts (Up) Here truly does change the world.
