AUSTIN, TEXAS, Nov. 26, 2019 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- The Newchip Startup Accelerator is excited to announce the launch of its November 2019 Seed & Series A Accelerator cohort, which includes fifteen (15) new startups from around the world. The companies range in industry focus from stem cell research to clothing rental, virtual reality (VR) and augmented reality (AR), artificial intelligence platforms in both healthcare and music, app-based travel solutions, CBD products, digital marketing, and more.
“The sheer amount of demand that our Seed & Series A Accelerator program has received over the past quarter is staggering,” said Ryan Rafols, CEO of Newchip. “Startups from all over the world continue to knock on our doors because they need help and want to learn how to take their companies to the next level. With 2020 right around the corner, we are preparing to make an even bigger impact in the coming months and quarters across companies that are at a more advanced stage of development.”
The Newchip Accelerator was founded as a solution to the 99%-of-startups-fail equation, with its inaugural online accelerator program launching in April 2019. Since then, the Accelerator has hosted Seed & Series A cohorts in June, July, September, and October with plans to launch new cohorts in December 2019, January 2020, and ten additional cohorts across 2020. The focus at Newchip is to disrupt the global startup accelerator and fundraising industry by formalizing entrepreneur education and mentorship as well as opening access to neglected markets for investors around the globe.
Newchip is also preparing to host its Startup Expo Q1 from January 27-31, 2020. Similar to a demo-day, the Startup Expo is a week-long, multi-industry, online event where portfolio companies that successfully completed the Accelerator program pitch their businesses to the Newchip global investor community.
“As our relationships with key institutional investors around the world deepen, we increasingly look to elevate the rigor and standards to which we hold our Seed & Series A companies,” said Joshua Lawton-Belous, Co-Founder at Newchip, “Smart money is looking for new sources of deal flow that will diversify their portfolio exposure across industries around the world.”
