About the Program
The GridX to Tulsa program is a transformative 3.5-week initiative designed to support exceptional founders of science-based startups from Latin America (LATAM). This program empowers participants to refine their US and global go-to-market strategies, immerse themselves in Tulsa's thriving entrepreneurial ecosystem, and showcase their innovations to local and national venture capitalists during an energizing demo day. Participating startups require a US or global go-to-market strategy for success and are willing to consider Tulsa as their US home base.
