Theanna Accelerator
For female founders building tech.
The Theanna Accelerator is an equity-free accelerator for female founders. Six weeks, $2,499, 0% equity.
Applications close September 15. Fall 2026 starts September 28.
Who this is for
For women who are done waiting and ready to build the business.
You're non-technical
You vibe-coded a product. Now you need the checks and balances to make it a business: customers, revenue, retention.
You want customers, not applause
You're done shipping features nobody asked for. You want real people using what you built.
You want it production-ready
Your prototype works in a demo. You want it to hold up in front of real customers.
This is not the bro room
You want a room of women who think and move like you, not a room full of dudes talking over you.
You want the truth
Real feedback that pushes you forward, not a polite nod that wastes your time.
You're done waiting
You've circled this long enough. You're building the business now, not someday.
How it works
We take you from a rough prototype to real customers.
In six fast, guided weeks. Not a course you grind through alone.
What no other accelerator gives you
You don't just get a coach. You get a whole team.
Nomiki
Founder & CEO
Kyle
Founding Engineer
A founder and a founding engineer, in the build with you every week. Most accelerators leave you alone on the tech. You get a team in your corner.
We guide you through all of it
You never figure this out alone. Nomiki and Kyle are in the build with you, live, every week. The moment you hit a wall, you know exactly who to ask and what to do next, so you keep moving.
The software hand-holds you
Theanna walks you through every step, from locking your ICP to filling your pipeline to launching, and always tells you your next move. Nothing slips through the cracks and you never wonder what to do.
It moves fast, on purpose
This is not a six-month accelerator you drift through. It's six intense weeks at launch speed, because the fastest way from a rough prototype to real customers is to go build it with a team behind you.
You're in this together
Get it done in a room of women who get it.
We accept 12 founders per cohort. You build alongside a small group of women in the exact same fight. You learn from each other, workshop live, and walk out with people you keep building with.
Learn from each other
Founders a step ahead share what actually worked, so you skip the guesswork and move faster.
Workshop it live
Put your product and your pitch in front of the room and get real feedback, not polite nods.
Build your network
A room of women building in tech who show up, do the work, and have your back well past week six.
Find your people
Collaborators, first customers, and the founders you partner with on whatever you build next.
Watch this first
See what you're signing up for.
The trifecta
Most accelerators give you one. You get all three.
Expert done-with-you support
Real operators who have built and sold products, guiding you live at every step. Not a pre-recorded course you grind through alone.
Software that hand-holds you
A platform that walks you through the entire process and keeps going long after the cohort. Your ICP, pipeline, and milestones in one place.
A cohort that's locked in
Founders who show up and do the work right beside you. Real accountability, feedback, and momentum you can't manufacture solo.
Who's teaching this
Combined 30 years of helping founders build products that get customers.
Founder & CEOStrategy track
Hey, I'm Nomiki.
I'm the founder of Theanna. I've helped build products that have helped founders raise over $220 million, with an exit north of $90 million and climbing. I built this platform because I was tired of watching brilliant women build incredible products and have zero idea how to get them in front of real customers.
I say “fuck” a lot. I'm direct, I'm no-nonsense, and I will tell you what you need to hear. We get one life, and I want to see every woman in this room actually go after the thing she keeps talking about. I figure out who your customer actually is, find where they are, and help you talk about your product in a way that makes them want to pay for it. ICP, positioning, outreach, sales conversations. That's my room.
I've helped hundreds of founders go from “I don't know who my customer is” to “I just closed my first deal.” This cohort is the most hands-on version of that.
Build track
And I'm Kyle.
I'm the technical leader of Theanna, the one behind all the technology that powers the platform. I've spent my career as a software engineer, and the last few years figuring out how to make non-technical founders dangerous with tools like Claude Code.
Here's what I do in this cohort: I take your vibe coded product, the thing you built that kind of works but isn't ready for real users, and help you get it to production. Tech stack, deployment, onboarding flow, the stuff that makes it feel like a real product someone would pay for.
You don't need to be technical. You don't need to know how to code. You just need to show up with what you've built, and I'll help you get it across the finish line.
By week 6, you'll know how to keep building on your own.
Founding EngineerWhat no other accelerator teaches you
Live tech support and workshops for 6 weeks.
Kyle walks you through the technical side of your own product, live, every week. How it's built, where your data lives, how to get paid, and what's safe. You ask questions until it makes sense.
Your stack, demystified
- Front end and back end, in plain words
- How your tools talk to each other
- Reading your own architecture out loud
- Why your site and your product never share a repo
Getting it live
- Commits, branches, and versions you can roll back
- Previewing a change before anyone sees it
- A records, CNAMEs, and pointing your domain
- Subdomains, so app.yourdomain.com is yours
Accounts and your database
- Tables, rows, and columns, which is most of a backend
- Row level security, on from day one
- Signup, login, and Google sign in
- Route protection: what a logged-out visitor can reach
Getting paid
- Test mode vs live mode
- Products, prices, and price IDs
- Payment links vs a full checkout
- Webhooks: how Stripe tells your product someone paid
Keys, secrets, and environments
- Publishable keys vs secret keys
- What is safe to paste, and what never is
- Dev, preview, and production, kept apart
- Demoing on mock data, so no real customer is exposed
Security and compliance, minus the panic
- What SOC 2, HIPAA, and PHI mean for you
- Data at rest vs data in transit
- Cookie consent, and the risk nobody warns you about
- When a compliance audit is worth $20k and when it is not
Real results
Hear it from Jenna, a non-technical founder who 3x'd her investment before graduation.
“It's not just about the platform, it's about the community. It's about having others that understand what you're going through, the anxiety of what the hell am I doing, posting online, the imposter syndrome, all of those things.”Jenna BoyleFounder
How Jenna went from idea to 6 paying customers — and 3x'd her investment
Joined Theanna in November, landed 6 paying customers by graduation
Jenna Boyle is a mental health coach turned tech founder. After years of working in the wellness industry, she knew she wanted to build something bigger — but didn't know where to start. Theanna gave her the framework and community to go from idea to real traction — and she made 3x her investment before the program was even over.
Spinning her wheels without a clear direction
Jenna knew she wanted to help people with mental health through coaching, but she was stuck. She had tried multiple approaches — different niches, different offers — but nothing was clicking. She felt like she was spinning her wheels, unsure of who her ideal customer really was or what they'd actually pay for.
Niching down and talking to real customers
Through Theanna's framework, Jenna learned how to define her ICP, write interview scripts, and conduct customer discovery calls that actually revealed insights. She stopped guessing and started listening. The process helped her narrow down from "anyone who needs mental health support" to a specific, underserved segment.
6 paying customers and 3x ROI before graduation
By interview #14, Jenna found her dream client — and it didn't stop there. She landed 6 paying customers before the cohort was over, making 3x her investment in Theanna. This wasn't just validation; it was real revenue and proof that her positioning was right.
Scaling with confidence
Jenna graduated with 6 paying customers, clear product-market fit, and the confidence to keep growing. She knows exactly who her customer is, what they need, and what they'll pay. Theanna gave her the structure, the community, and the expert guidance to stop spinning and start building.

How applications work
12 female founders. 12 months of support.
A six week program with monthly cohort meetups for twelve months. Applications are open through September 15. 12 spots only.
1. You apply
Applications run August 28 to September 15. One form, five minutes: what you've built, what's in the way, and whether the schedule works.
2. We email next steps
Next comes an interview, and we'll email you to set it up. It's a conversation about your application: follow-up questions so we can work out whether the program fits where you are, and your chance to ask us anything. Not every application gets one.
3. You lock your spot
After your interview we work out the best fits for the room. You'll hear back from us within a few days, and if you're a good fit you lock in your spot.
This is a paid program. $2,499 one-time, then $199/mo after, with your first month free, for 12 months of meetups with your cohort. 0% equity, cancel anytime. See full program pricing
