Sally Ng is looking for a few good startups.

The Executive Director of the Planet Hatch incubator and ACcelR8 program has sent out a notice saying the program’s first cohort has graduated and it is time to bring in the next crew. The applications are open until March 5. Ng will host information sessions on the program Thursday, Feb. 27, at 5:15 and 6:15 pm at Planet Hatch in Fredericton.

She is encouraging any startup and/or entrepreneur to apply, even if they are early in their development.

“By completing the application it helps the startups stay on our radar and also helps us have a better idea of our community needs are,” said Ng in an email.

Planet Hatch’s ACcelR8 Program is a 12-week intensive accelerator program for high-growth potential startups. Its aim is to help startups increase traction, secure partnerships and fine tune their business model through mentorship and programming. Through access to its network of mentors and advisers, the organizers want to teach startups in the program to compete globally.
