Apply Now to the Long Beach Accelerator's 7th Cohort

Long Beach Accelerator Winter 2023 Cohort

The Long Beach Accelerator is taking applications for their 7th cohort

The Long Beach Accelerator is not your typical accelerator. It was established with the entrepreneur in mind with full support and partnership from the city, private investors, and CSULB. Cohort members now have access to $150K in capital for 7% equity, up from $100K in their first five cohorts, to support them through acceleration and expansion. With real government access to help navigate through the regulatory maze and provide resources and guidance at every level, program participants experience a one-of-a-kind opportunity- including access to key university and industry partners and some of the largest markets in the world. In seeking out and supporting companies founded by diverse entrepreneurs, the LBA prides itself on providing exceptional vision and value to this ecosystem.

Why Apply:

The Long Beach Accelerator's first five cohorts, even at this early date, are seeing some enormous traction. The Long Beach Accelerator has graduated 37 cohort companies, 8 of which have received acquisition offers, and collectively raised over $25M in capital and earned over $12M in revenue since February 2021. With just 8-10 companies per cohort, you get real, hands-on help. The LBA can help startups achieve milestones that increase their value and get to the next level.

Who Should Apply:

Startups in beta through early revenue stage. The program is remote-first, so applicants from anywhere are welcome to apply (must be US Incorporated). Underrepresented founders and Long Beach-based companies are strongly encouraged to apply. For more details, see lbaccelerator.org
