The LinkSV Accelerator Program is designed for stealth and early stage startups who need to identify people so they can make the connections critical to sales, business development, partnerships, board members and advisory board members – important components in obtaining their next round of funding. Accelerators that participate in the program can provide free premium memberships including access to LinkSV resources to their active startups. There is no cost to the accelerators in the program; they simply provide a list of their active companies and quarterly updates.

Accelerators must provide significant resources to their startups to participate. Upon acceptance, each accelerator provides a list of their current startups and key information (founders names, description, funding, stage). Those companies and the accelerator’s principals each receive full access to the LinkSV daily newsletter and database, in the form of an Accelerator membership, which is equivalent to a Business membership, limited only in the number of monthly record downloads (100 vs. 1000). Accelerator memberships remain active until the startups graduate or leave the accelerator program, at which time they have the option to transition to a paid membership. Accelerators can apply using the form below or contact dawn@linksv.com with questions.
