Westchester County’s Element 46 Tech Accelerator Powered by Cela is accepting applications for its spring cohort, which will begin in late March.
Up to 12 tech start-ups from across Westchester will be selected for the 10-week program and must feature committed founders with at least a prototype of their technology or tech-enabled product. In the program, each company founder is matched with hand-picked mentors who are leaders in technology, finance, business strategy, venture capital, marketing and other key areas. Participants also gain access to a curriculum on fundraising, customer development, executive management, product iteration, branding, marketing and more.
In the past, selected start-ups have additionally been investor-backed, grant-funded, and/or revenue-generating operations.
Applications for Spring 2024 are now online and interested parties must apply by March 4. The program will culminate with a Demo Day on June 12, where each participant will have the opportunity to pitch their venture to a room full of investors, technology experts, press representatives, government officials and other key contacts.
“Participating in the Element 46 Tech Accelerator has helped many ventures raise capital, establish powerful partnerships and broaden their client pool,” said Westchester County Executive George Latimer. “This is a tremendous opportunity for Westchester County tech startups to elevate their business and I encourage anyone who is looking to take their venture to new heights to apply.”
