We Need Your Help Building a
Start-Up Tech Accelerator from Scratch!

The City of Glendale received a $1 million grant secured by Senator Anthony Portantino from the State of California to launch a start-up accelerator. Accelerators offer mentoring, marketing, networking, investment opportunities and other services early-stage companies need to progress to the next level.

Join us as we explore the potential of future partners, and how to create a program with lasting impact.

• Corporate Companies: Discuss potential benefits of supporting an accelerator that could benefit you and your employees, such as mentorship, board seats, or innovative ways to solve problems your company faces.

• Educators: Help us develop a program that could assist your students and program.

• Non-Profits: Help us identify opportunities that the accelerator can help address.

• All others welcome!: Interested in the accelerator but not sure where you fit? Join us for this discussion.

Lunch will be provided.
