Tech Accelerator Seeking Innovative Local Startups

Westchester County’s Element 46 Tech Accelerator Powered by Cela is currently accepting applications for its fall cohort, which will begin in September. Each startup selected will experience a world-class accelerator program that features a key curriculum, connections to entrepreneurs, investors and mentors, and full-time support from the Element 46 staff. The program will culminate with a Demo Day in November 2024, where participants will have the opportunity to pitch their ventures to a room full of investors, technology experts, press representatives, government officials and other key contacts.

Westchester County Executive George Latimer said, “The Element 46 Tech Accelerator is a dynamic program that combines education, mentorship and networking to help startups scale. I strongly encourage tech startups from throughout the county looking to take their venture to the next level to apply early for this powerful program.”

Cela Innovation Co-Founder John Lynn, said, “The Fall 2024 cohort of the Element 46 Tech Accelerator is the fifth in partnership with the Westchester County Office of Economic Development and our team at Cela.  At this point, there are more than 70 alumni entrepreneurs who have gone on to raise millions in investor funding, capture revenue, grow their teams, and put forward innovative tech products; this is a world class entrepreneurial community that has engagement with the local and global startup ecosystem. It is only getting more competitive to be selected, so we encourage all interested entrepreneurs to interact with us at an upcoming Info Session, and to apply as soon as possible while there are still available spots in the Fall 2024 roster.” Applications for Fall 2024 will be reviewed on a rolling basis and interested parties must apply by August 21 to be considered for the cohort.
