How can I help?

Are you an experienced business person with lessons to share? Do you have a passion for helping new entrepreneurs succeed? Would you like to make a serious contribution to the region’s entrepreneurial ecosystem?

If your answer is yes, i360accelerator would like to speak with you about partnership opportunities.

We are currently seeking to partner with full-time or part-time mentors, both specialized subject matter experts and general business advisers. By sharing your business experience and lessons learned with i360accelerator participants, you can give these fresh entrepreneurs a head start on success. In turn, you will be rewarded by contributing to the community, as well as potential equity through options.

For investors, i360accelerator also offers two windows of opportunity: seed investment for ideas entering the program, and angel or VC investment for businesses formed by accelerator participants. Your contribution makes it possible for entrepreneurs to turn their dreams into reality, and our program helps mitigate the risk of investing in a new business by refining each business idea and vetting the teams behind the ideas.

In addition to mentors and investors, i360accelerator is also seeking educators who are versed in business, innovation, change management, finance and other topics relevant to startups and entrepreneurs. We are also looking to partner with local service providers who can offer relevant offerings to our participants.
