Boost VC: Accelerator that boosts exotic technology ventures
More than 20 years ago talking on the phone in video conference mode was considered something out of science fiction, however today it is a reality possible with smartphones, back then such a venture could have been considered as something innovative science fiction, this company assumes and supports technological ventures of this type, I would not say science fiction but I would call them exotic technology ventures with rare innovations.
For the above reasons is that I like this type of accelerator because without support for exotic ventures would not be possible many of the things we have today as a reality, another palpable case and already a reality electric cars.
The company is relatively young since it began operations in 2015, is based in Silicon Valley, where there are offices available to entrepreneurs when they are in full acceleration program and is not only support with expert mentors and funding, they have the particularity that provide housing for entrepreneurs to live quietly as they get going thanks to the accelerator program. This is a support rarely seen in this type of companies.
The most sought after ventures to accelerate are based on artificial intelligence, as it lends itself to exotic projects, virtual reality, and other approaches. In their web portal in the podcast section you will be able to see videos related to funded ventures.
Many projects using Blosckchain technologies could perfectly apply for possible prospects for this accelerator, there is plenty of material, tools and ecosystems where you can make developments of this type,
Pros
- Support entrepreneurial projects that could impact the world.
- Mentoring, financing, support, offices and housing in a single program.
- You can see success stories in their podcast
- Headquartered in the tech city Sillicon Valley
Cons
- Web portal not in line with the entrepreneurial type of company
