Summer is our time to plan the next Autumn Accelerator, which will be our Batch 4 overall. 🎉 We are thinking about what we can do better 🤔, but we also need to know the opinions of the right people - FOUNDERS! A big question for you: Is there something specific you would like to learn or get advice on at a start-up accelerator? Let us know in the comments. Thank you all for your support. 🤗 #aceon #aceonaccelerator #planning #nextbatch

The judges--an impressive group of innovators, investors, and change makers-- have arrived and are getting their instructions while the students finalize their pitches and prototypes! #FastForge #Hackathon powered by The Possible Zone. #HackathonBoston2024

We’re busy working on our pitch decks, materials, and applying to accelerators. A few we’ve applied to and/or applying to soon: Sequoia ARC, Y Combinator, PearX, and a16z SPEEDRUN. I’ve found that the application process itself is IMMENSELY useful. It’s allowed us to think about things and finely craft/hone our messaging and purpose. Take away from my post: apply to accelerators—there’s value in going through those steps. You’ll learn with each one and be able to sharpen how you think and talk about your product. Cheers!

Are you curious to learn more about the VC behind investments like Commonwealth Fusion Systems - Form Energy - Boston Metal - Lilac Solutions - Sublime Systems - AtmosZero - Syzygy Plasmonics, and others? (psst. pick up your jaw) We spoke with Michael Kearney from Engine Ventures, perhaps one of the best climate Funds. They have a really cool founding story since they were spun out of MIT. Being connected with MIT + being based in Boston gives them great proximity to some of the coolest startups in the world of hardware climate tech. Check out today's episode - it's FULL of great stuff! #climatetech #hardware #deeptech #venturecapital #MIT #bostonclimate

I asked our gener8tor's accelerator staff this question: In your experiences, what traits, characteristics, practices, skills, talents, etc. help founders get the most out of accelerator programs?
