Twin Cities Competitions & Accelerators to Catapult your Ed-Tech Startup

Is an accelerator program the right fit for my startup?
Will it speed the process of gaining customer traction?
Will it help my startup attract investment capital?
Are competitions and accelerators worth the time and energy invested?

Startup accelerators and competitions can provide critical support to early-stage companies in the form of business mentoring and financing. The process can be intense, compressing several years' worth of learning-by-doing into just a few months, accelerating a young company early in its life cycle.

Our speakers will 'Reverse Pitch' their programs, and include examples of winning candidates, as well as specific applicant info & deadlines.
Then we'll break into small-groups for networking with opportunities to get answers to questions specific to your start-up.
