We are breaking new ground!
This year marks an exciting development for the accelerator as a seventh social impact company has been invited to participate in select programming alongside the portfolio startups.

We are back with renewed commitment
At Leap, we believe that every pet deserves the best possible care and that pet parenting should be a source of joy, not stress. By introducing BestyBnB to our accelerator program, we reaffirm our dedication to fostering innovation that not only advances the pet care industry but also serves the greater good. BestyBnB’s mission aligns perfectly with our vision of creating a world where pets and their owners can thrive together.
