Accelerators For Tech Startups 🚀
Open to see the application timelines, and deadlines. Apply for a mock pitch before hand for a chance to be paired with a volunteer investor.
Accelerators are a popular concept globally as a path for entrepreneurs to build . They provide avenue for founders to join a cohort, refine their startup and prepare you for fundraise over a period of time for an investment, for a fixed % of the company. Some are equity free.
Some accelerators are known to be incredible launchpads that provide access to investors, subject matter experts, other experienced founders, and a brand that could increase the chances of success of a company.
