Connecticut Innovations is accepting applications through Aug. 15 from entrepreneurial teams interested in participating in the fall TechStart accelerator program.
The first TechStart program this past spring generated 80 applicants for nine spots, with teams requiring at least two people. Entrepreneurs get up to $25,000 in initial capital and mentoring, with teams ultimately pitching their ideas and innovations to angel investors and venture capitalists.
Connecticut Innovations does not take a stake in TechStart businesses, which must be based in Connecticut.
TechStart’s fall program runs full-time from September through December in New Haven.
