COHORT 10 WILL BRING THE BEST OF THE EAST AND WEST TOGETHER IN HAWAII
Blue Startups is a Top 20 Accelerator in the US (TechCrunch) focused on helping technology companies compete on a global scale.
For Cohort #10 we are looking for startups interested in building the bridge between east and west – US teams looking to enter Asia and Asian teams looking to enter the US market.
Specific verticals we are interested in include Travel, Gaming, Blockchain, AI, Smart City and Social Impact teams looking to cross the Pacific.
The 13-week program kicks off in May and will culminate at the RISE conference in Hong Kong, a Demo Day in Honolulu and a capstone week in San Francisco.
With 120+ mentors from the East and West, 75% of graduated companies still in operation or acquired and access to a large angel and seed VC network – over the past 9 cohorts we have successfully launched 68 companies that have raised over $100 million in follow-on capital.
