Energia Ventures, an accelerator in Frederction, is seeking companies in the energy, cleantech and cybersecurity sectors to apply for its 2018 accelerator program. 

The program, which is now accepting applications, will run from April 30 until Energia’s demo day on July 20. Participants can expect intensive mentoring, funding for their startups, programs, and business support.

“Energia offers early-stage companies the mentorship, guidance, support and access to investors to truly accelerate their business,” Energia Managing Director Joe Allen said in statement.

“The end goal is to create stable, high-growth potential companies worthy of venture capital investments on a compressed timeline.”

There is no cost to participate at Energia Ventures, which grew out of the University of New Brunswick's Technology, Management and Entrepreneurship program. Instead, the successful applicants for the program are granted seed funding in exchange for equity in their company.

The program will operate in Fredericton, so successful applicants will need to be based out of the city during that time, though Energia can help locate accommodations, and assist with visas for any international applicants.

Energia encourages interested startups to apply through F6S, an online tool that links startups across the globe with programs and funders. The deadline to apply for the program is February 5.
