Are you launching a startup? Do you know an innovative entrepreneur? Applications for MassChallenge 2016 accelerator programs in Boston, Israel, and Switzerland are now open!
One of the world’s largest startup accelerators, MassChallenge connects early-stage entrepreneurs and startups with the resources they need to launch their businesses.
MassChallenge does not receive any equity. The high-impact startups that participate in the organization’s four-month program compete to win a portion of several million dollars in equity-free cash awards.
Because MassChallenge is a nonprofit, the organization can focus entirely on accelerating entrepreneurs from any industry including clean technology, financial technology, health information technology, medical devices, non-profit and social impact startups.
Any early-stage startup can apply to MassChallenge. Startups benefit from mentorship, corporate access, a large global network, and more. The 835 MassChallenge alumni have raised more than $1.1 billion and created 6,500 jobs.
