SoCal's Long Beach Accelerator Application Now Open

Apply Now to the Long Beach Accelerator's 4th Cohort

The Long Beach Accelerator is not your typical accelerator. 

It was established with the entrepreneur in mind with full support from the city, private investors, and CSULB. Program participants have access to $100K in capital to support them through acceleration and expansion.

Cohort members have real government access to help navigate through the regulatory maze and provide resources and guidance at every level. They also have access to key university and industry partners and some of the largest markets in the world. The LBA is focused on providing exceptional vision and value to this ecosystem, and in seeking out and supporting companies founded by diverse entrepreneurs.

The Long Beach Accelerator's first three cohorts, even at this early date, are seeing some enormous traction. The Long Beach Accelerator has graduated 20 cohort companies, 25% of which have received acquisition offers, and collectively raised over $12.5M in capital and earned over $2.3M in revenue since February 2021. With just 7-9 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 can Apply

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

Early Bird Deadline: July 8, 2022

Final Deadline: August 5, 2022
