Start-up Acceleration

A new program called New Media Entrepreneurship Accelerator Program has been started in order to advance the start-ups of minority owned and led technology companies.

The program promises some pretty sweet deals for the start-ups including one-on-one mentorships, dinners with some of the most respected technology giants in Silicon Valley, and the chance to demonstrate the start-up, all opportunities to showcase it and attract investors.

At this time in the US economic history, this is invaluable help for people who have always wanted out of the 9-5 rat race and innovate their way out of the vicious cycle that employment had become in the 21st Century.

Unfortunately, the program has already picked the participants for their first session for the summer, with 5 selected and 2 community voted companies, but hopefully it will not be the only session that will exist and other companies will be able to participate in this program.
