Planet Hatch, the Fredericton-based startup hub, is hosting a three-day “pre-accelerator” to give novice entrepreneurs an introduction to the field.

The Startup Crash Course will take place on Jan. 31, Feb. 14 and Feb. 15 at Planet Hatch in Knowledge Park in Fredericton. Applications, which must be submitted by Jan. 20, are available here.

“The Startup Crash Course is an intense 3 day program that will give a select group of committed founders a unique opportunity to take their startup the next level,” said a notice from the organizers. “It is designed to give teams valuable training, tools, and mentorship to get them one step closer to building their startup and potentially gaining access to the Planet Hatch core accelerator program.”
