Deadline Date: June 07, 2026
The Bronze Valley Investment Accelerator Programme is requesting applications to support high-growth early-stage startups in Alabama, United States through funding, mentorship, and structured business growth support.
The focus areas include early-stage startup investment, venture capital readiness, startup scaling, mentorship and coaching, accelerator programmes, equity-based funding, innovation ecosystems, technology startups, and sector-agnostic business growth across industries such as healthtech, fintech, climate tech, biotech, cybersecurity, and software development.
The Bronze Valley Investment Accelerator is designed to invest in up to five high-growth startups per cohort, providing them with capital, mentorship, and access to a strong entrepreneurial ecosystem. The programme focuses on helping startups scale their operations and prepare for future fundraising opportunities.
Selected startups receive a $100,000 investment in exchange for 5% equity through a Simple Agreement for Future Equity (SAFE). The programme is powered by gener8tor and connects founders with mentors, investors, corporate partners, and venture capitalists to support business growth.
The accelerator is industry-agnostic and accepts startups from multiple sectors, particularly those with a scalable technology focus. It is best suited for companies that already have a product or MVP and early traction or revenue.
Eligible startups must be based in the United States and founded by U.S. citizens. Founders are required to relocate to Birmingham, Alabama or Wilmington, Delaware for the duration of the programme and actively participate in all activities.
The programme expects founders to be committed, coachable, and responsive, with a strong focus on execution, learning, and rapid business development throughout the 12-week acceleration period.
