TIME Magazine has named the USC EdTech Accelerator one of America's Best Incubators & Accelerators for 2026.

It supports EdTech solutions with high potential to improve the quality and equity of education, from early childhood through adult learning.

Founded in 2018 by Doug Lynch and Mark DeGennaro, the accelerator is fully virtual, charges no tuition and takes no equity. Companies in the program have raised over $150 million and reached more than 25 million learners.

"This recognition affirms that innovation and equity are not competing priorities but complementary strengths," said Pedro Noguera, dean of USC Rossier.

The program, entering its ninth year, competed against accelerators across all industries to earn the national recognition.
