Apply to be a ‘Venture Fellow’ at Bed-Stuy’s Fashion + Design Accelerator

The Brooklyn Fashion + Design Accelerator has a fellowship program open for its coworking space that’s coming soon to Bed-Stuy’s former Pfizer Building.

The space is supposed to have all kinds of advanced equipment for making clothes and accessories. Plus 3D printers, laser cutters and a limited-run manufacturing capacity.

We wrote about the space in April. It’s for companies that have gotten some traction but are looking to bridge the gap between limited-audience and mass-market scale.

The group is currently looking for its next class of Venture Fellows.

Apply by Oct. 5
