gBETA Alaska, is a 7- week accelerator program of gener8tor, that provides entrepreneurial skills + access to cash to level the playing field for Alaskan founders. Why? Because, we believe that talent is everywhere, but opportunity is not. Simple as that.
The program gives entrepreneurs a chance to gain essential founder skills, receive honest feedback, beef-up mentor and investor networks, and become effective and efficient at pitching and raising money.
<aside> 🔥 The program is FREE and we will not take an equity stake in participating startups.

We work with both pre and post-revenue companies. Our goal is to get the founder/company ready for investment, to focus on growth metrics, traction and achieving the next milestone. So what does that look like?
