The gBETA Huntsville is a free, seven-week accelerator for early-stage companies with local roots. Each program is capped at five to six teams and requires no fees or equity.
“RCP Companies and the MidCity Accelerator Foundation are inspired by the work of the gener8tor team and the diverse group of founders fostering their businesses in our Huntsville and North Alabama programs,” said Lindsey Pattillo Keane, executive director of MidCity District Association. “We invite the region to discover the robust start-up culture that is burgeoning in our community.
‘”The Tennessee Valley is known for brilliant, forward-thinking citizens, and gener8tor and the MCAF are ensuring that these big-thinkers have a local accelerator where their business endeavors can flourish and thrive.
