Propel ICT, the regional IT accelerator, is now accepting applications for its 2017 Fall Accelerator and will hold information sessions across the region for people interested in applying.
The one-hour sessions are intended to tell prospective participants which program is best suited to accelerate their startup, and the outcomes they can expect to see throughout the accelerator.
The accelerator holds an advanced Build program in Moncton with each cohort, designed to help companies with a product to scale their businesses. It also holds its more rudimentary Launch cohorts in different cities across the region to help new companies work toward a product-market fit. So far, Launch cohorts have been held in Halifax and Fredericton with each cohort, and in other cities depending largely on the supply of companies in each place that meet its criteria. For example, in the most recent cohort, there was a program offered in Sydney, and in previous cohorts they were offered in Charlottetown and St. John’s.
