The LinkSV Accelerator Program is designed for accelerators working with early-stage, pre-Series A startups that are or will be raising capital and need to identify investors as well as key people and connections for sales, business development, partnership and board members. Startup founders participating in the Accelerator receive Accelerator memberships that include:

The database includes details on tens of thousands of fundings – the companies, their executives and investors, most with email addresses.

Accelerators must provide significant resources to their startups to participate. The accelerator’s principals also receive full access to the Pulse of the Valley weekday newsletter, database and alerts, in the form of an Accelerator membership, which is equivalent to a Business membership (regularly $49.95), 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 an entrepreneur membership for just $7/month. Accelerators can apply using the form below or contact dawn@linksv.com with questions.
