Wisconsin-based venture firm and startup accelerator gener8tor, which has an established presence in Indiana, has announced the spring cohorts of two separate gBETA programs. The organization says the seven-week program will support early-stage startups that are focused on 5G technology and energy and sustainability.
The bootcamp provides select attendees with intensive coaching and access to its national network of mentors, corporate partners and investors.
The programs are designed to set a path for startups to participate in equity-based accelerator programs and investment opportunities.
The program is in partnership with the Indiana Economic Development Corp.
“Indiana sees incredible value in building and supporting an ecosystem where innovators in these fast-moving and high-tech industries can thrive,” said Natasha Jensen-Matta director of small business at the Indiana Economic Development Corporation (IEDC). “We are looking forward to working with gener8tor and these impressive companies to help them establish, grow and thrive in Indiana.”
At the end of the program, the entrepreneurs will get an opportunity to pitch their businesses to potential investors at industry conferences being held in Indianapolis.
