Long Beach Accelerator is not your typical accelerator. It was established with you in mind with full support from the city, private investors, and our local university. Program participants will have access to capital from the LBA fund to support you through this acceleration and expansion phase. You will have real government access to help you navigate through the regulatory maze and provide resources and guidance at every level. You will also have access to key industry partners and some of the largest markets in the world.
Proudly catalyzing today’s founders to become tomorrow’s leaders:
