Accelerator programs are incredible vehicles for bringing your startup from point A to point B at an accelerated pace. 

And each accelerator program available in the Greater Boston Area has something specifically unique about the content and resources they offer and how they can support your startup.

Which then leaves founders with two critical questions to answer: 

1. Which accelerator program is the best fit for them? 
2. How do you know if now is the right time for your startup to apply to an accelerator? 

We’re going to dive into these two questions - and so much more.

AND you’re going to have the opportunity to MEET with some incredible accelerator programs, face-to-face, after the program.

Explore interviewing strategies, commonly asked questions, and unexpected challenges that may arise during the interview process.

• How do you initiate a conversation once you have identified a potential mentor or advisor? 
• Are there any red flags you should keep in mind when looking to build out your mentorship circle? 
• And what are the best practices for managing a relationship with your mentors and advisors that respects their knowledge while also respecting your autonomy as a founder?

And much more! Come armed with those questions - and your notebooks!
