Build in Tulsa and Visible Hands are accepting applications for Arch, a new 12-week accelerator in Tulsa for tech founders who are scaling, earning revenue, and ready to raise. Founders receive $70,000 in funding with no equity given up, and applications close Nov. 20.
Arch is a new 12-week accelerator in Tulsa for founders building in digital health, energy, aerospace, and advanced manufacturing. It's for companies with paying customers, paid pilots, or early revenue that are ready to raise their first major round of outside investment. Build in Tulsa runs Arch with Visible Hands, a venture capital fund.
If you're a tech founder who is scaling, with early traction and ready to raise, Arch is for you.
Founders will receive $70,000 in funding with no equity given up, so they keep full ownership of what they're building.
Founders also connect with industry-leading advisors who have built companies, invested, or worked in their sector, plus weekly sessions and one-on-one coaching with the Visible Hands team.
Arch gives founders access to investors who back their industry and to companies looking for new technology to pilot, buy, or partner on. The 12 weeks end with Demo Day. Founders leave with a plan for their raise, a financial model investors can test, a sharper sales approach, and a list of qualified customers to pursue.
Arch runs March 30 to June 24, 2027, at Build in Tulsa, 124 Reconciliation Way.
You can apply to the program until November 20, 2026. Apply for Arch.
