ELEVATE is a four-week virtual accelerator course that begins on June 15, 2020. The program is free and allows participants to complete at the flexibility of their schedules. During the program, experts at HubSpot, Greycroft and companies including Lightricks, Unbabel, and more, will lead various sessions for registrants. Each lesson will be aligned with a stage of the customer lifecycle journey: Attract, Engage, and Delight.
After formal lessons conclude, participants will have the opportunity to learn how to pitch their startup. There will be one lesson entirely dedicated to the pitch process.
“Being named the winner of the ELEVATE pitch contest was a complete game-changer for me,” said Ty’Lisha Summers, the co-founder of SpenDebt, a financial technology company designed to assist people in paying off debt by attaching micropayments to everyday transactions. “As a startup founder, the one thing we all wish we had more of is time. Given the totally virtual nature of ELEVATE, I was able to learn invaluable lessons that helped propel SpenDebt to our next phase of growth.”
