The Propel Accelerator is a cohort-based program that provides early stage technology startups with funding, mentorship, knowledge and support over 5 months to increase their chances of long-term success. It accepts up to 7 companies per cohort through a competitive application process. Selected startups participate in bootcamps, weekly meetings, mentorship and networking events to develop their minimum viable product, which they pitch at a final Demo Day. The goal is to launch 36 new startups over 3 years through this accelerator program.
