Reflecting on 25 Years: SEG Welcomes Its Fall 2026 Incubator and Accelerator Cohorts
Left: Fall 2026 Incubator Cohort. Right: Fall 2026 Accelerator Cohort.
This fall is a pretty special one for Social Enterprise Greenhouse (SEG). We’re celebrating our 25th year supporting social entrepreneurs across Rhode Island and Southeastern Massachusetts, and there’s no better way to mark that than by welcoming a new group of changemakers into our programs.
This season, SEG received 74 applications for just 25 spots across our Accelerator and Incubator programs, which comes out to a 33% acceptance rate. These entrepreneurs are joining SEG’s 29th Accelerator cohort and 25th Incubator cohort, two milestones that say a lot about how much this community has grown since SEG got its start.
As always, we’re proud of the range of ideas, industries, and backgrounds in this new group, everything from healthcare and consumer products to biotech, fintech, and art. Each entrepreneur brings something a little different to the table, and together they’re the next chapter of SEG’s story.
