Their  guiding principle is to put “Founders” first. As a mission- driven nonprofit, Startx prioritizes the value of the program for participating businesspersons over everything, including profit.

StartX has an incredibly distinct accelerator program where they invite its founders to ask questions, share their business concerns, and find community from fellow founders, and StartX partners and unlike other traditional accelerators, they will take in companies at various stages and from a variety of sectors. 


An important aspect of the success of the program is their location. Situated near Page Mill Road, StartX has strategically placed their entrepreneurs in the Stanford Research Park, keeping its founders close to the Stanford campus, and easy access to crucial founder partnerships

It was initiated by the UNFCC and the Climate Technology Initiative in 2006. Their global mission is to gather private investments for the benefit of climate change adaptation and mitigation in support of the Paris Agreement on Climate Change and the Sustainable Developments Goals.
