Deadline: 28 March 2025
The gener8tor has launched its seven-week gBETA Life Sciences Accelerator Program for early-stage companies with local roots.
gBETA runs multiple times every year in cities across the United States. Up to five companies from a range of verticals are selected from a competitive applicant pool to participate in the free seven-week program.
gBETA’s goal is that graduates will go on to participate in an investment accelerator or raise a seed round.
Benefits
- Participating companies receive:
- Individualized coaching and mentorship from the team of nationally ranked accelerator gener8tor on company growth and investor readiness
- Weekly “Lunch & Learns” and “Mentor Swarms”
- Investor and accelerator pitches
- $1M+ in deals and perks from vendors like IBM Cloud, Rackspace, Amazon, Paypal, Zendesk, Hubspot and Microsoft
- Ongoing post-program support and gener8tor community involvement and offerings
Eligibility Criteria
- National Based Program
- gBETA Life Science is a nationally based accelerator for early-stage companies with a focus on life science innovations. It is hosted in Indianapolis with in-person and virtual components.
- Program Commitment
- You can commit to at least 85% of their programming, with the ideal being 100%. gBETA requires at least 5-7 hours weekly of programming, not including the time founders dedicate to working on their businesses independently.
- Openness, Fundraising, and Sales
- You’re prepared to discuss your business openly with mentors and investors, knowing that not everything is proprietary. Raising capital is on your radar, and you are either selling already or ready to scale your sales in a more reliable, consistent way.
- Coachability and Responsiveness
- You’re coachable, open to feedback, and value multiple perspectives to make informed decisions for your business. You’re also responsive and thrive in a fast-paced environment.
