Charlottetown, PE – Startup Zone is excited to launch a new Accelerator Program for startup businesses in PEI. The Fall 2019 Accelerator Program is a 12-week, in-person program for PEI entrepreneurs with an early-stage idea, prototype, or new business with a technology aspect and high growth potential. The deadline for applications is August 25, 2019. 

The Accelerator Program includes all of the benefits of Startup Zone’s Resident Company Program, and in addition, successful applicants will receive weekly workshops, accountability sessions, expert training and feedback, office hours, group meetings, and partner discounts to help them make progress each week.

“The Startup Zone is a great space for new and experienced entrepreneurs to learn, build, and grow,” said Startup Zone CEO Patrick Farrar “We’ve seen strong success from entrepreneurs over the past three years and we’ve listened to islanders to identify the gaps and barriers in the ecosystem. The community wants to learn, build, and grow faster which is why we’ve created the Startup Zone Accelerator. This Accelerator program equips entrepreneurs with the knowledge and connections in product development, branding, and sales.”

There is no application cost or admission fee to the Startup Zone’s Accelerator Program and Resident Company Program. Learn more about the new program at startupzone.ca/apply.
