Startup Boost is a global pre-accelerator program with a mission to lead pre-seed stage startups towards Accelerators, Investment, and Revenue. The program provides high-quality one-on-one mentorship and a large global network to help accelerate the growth of startups accepted.
The program takes no equity and charges no fees and the dedication of our gifted program leaders and mentors.
Details:
Each cohort takes place once weekly over a 6 week period one evening a week from 6 pm to 9 pm, where the best speakers and mentors meet to work with promising pre-seed/seed-stage startups.
The program naturally integrates into a founder’s schedule on a part-time weekly basis to create an iterative cycle of accountability and growth that maximizes and compounds the learnings and insights gained each week.
The program culminates in a Demo Day. Additionally, there is a virtual demo day for all the city programs that provide even further exposure for accepted startups.
