Accelerator Program

Green Spaces offers informal programs and services that have caused us to be recognized in reputed publications by renowned journalists about incubators and accelerators: NY Enterprise Report, Crains, The Huffington Post, among others.

We have accelerator-like features, allowing our startups to gain access to investors, peer-to-peer feedback, mentorship, education, networking, curated connections and more:

• Regular pitch nights, where entrepreneurs meet investors and get feedback, evaluating them for potential investment. Past events include AGRION Cleantech Pitch Slam, Tiltnyc, and Pitchcrawl.

• Membership with Mission Markets' online portal, exposing Green Spaces member companies to their network of investors for potential investment, feedback and due diligence (launching in November 2012).

• Regular Skillshare classes. Recent classes include: DIY PR for Startups, Gold Medal Leadership, Investment Banking 101, How to be Internet Famous, How to Write a Killer Magazine Pitch, Building Your First iPad or iPhone App, Lead Engineer's Class, among many others.

• Weekly feedback idea bounce sessions for members to find solutions to business challenges, which we blog about in Forbes.com's entrepreneur section. 

• Daily "curated connections," connecting members with business professionals they need to grow: mentors, coaches, accountants, lawyers, marketing, PR, developers and more.

• Weekly events, offering education, community cultivation, and business networking for members. Recent events include TEDster Noam Kostucki on Gaming for Business Strategies, TED Breaker iGiveMore: Revolutionizing Philanthropy, Making Green Normal: Natural Product Marketing in Mainstream Media, Social Venture Network Local Celebration for 25th anniversary, among many others, listed on our partners page.
