Upwave has been selected for the Norwegian New York Accelerator (NNYA) this summer and we’re so excited!
But what exactly is an accelerator?
It’s basically an intense education program where you compress years’ worth of learning-by-doing into just a few months . Why? To really kickstart growth in early stage companies. How? By providing groups of startups with education, mentorship, network, partners and investors.
And what is the Norway New York Accelerator (NNYA)?
The Norway New York Accelerator is an elite “market-entry” program for Norwegian startups ready to break into the East Coast US market. It’s a three-month accelerator program for Norwegian companies led by one of USA’s best-performing accelerators, ERA (Entrepreneurs Roundtable Accelerator), in collaboration with Innovation Norway. The program features intense one-on-one mentoring sessions by industry-leading mentors as well as workshops, speakers sessions and office hours by ERA partners and sponsors such as Microsoft, Google, Amazon, IBM, etc.
We’re looking forward to spending our summer learning, tweaking, pitching, networking and ACCELERATING in the big city! Are you in New York? Do you want to meet the team behind Upwave, give us some feedback, get a demo or just have a coffee? Hit us up! 🙂
