We understand that you need to know us more.
The SVA Accelerator is a program designed to support startups by providing resources, mentorship, and access to a network of investors and industry experts to accelerate growth.
The SVA Accelerator offers a unique, long-term focus for our portfolio companies. We’re committed to your success and offer the mentorship, networking opportunities, connections to funding sources and much more, going above and beyond the typical 90-day program other accelerators offer.
Our accelerator is for startups looking to scale. To be considered for the accelerator, applicant companies should have a minimum viable product (MVP), and preferably focus on industries such as AI, sustainability, and/or biotech.
We focus on startups that demonstrate high potential for growth in areas such as AI, sustainability, and biotech.
We are in it for the long term and focus on assisting portfolio companies with reaching major milestones, through a mutually agreed upon timeframe that’s customized for each business.
Participants receive bespoke mentorship, access to a co-working space, networking opportunities with investors and industry leaders, business development support, and opportunities for strategic partnerships.
While SVA does not directly invest in startups, it does provide networking opportunities with investors and sources of funding, as well as utilizing our in-house investment banker to facilitate funding. In addition, SVA advisors may choose to invest in portfolio companies.
Upon selection to join SVA as a portfolio company, we take an equity stake that vests over time. Unlike other accelerators with high monthly fees, we charge a nominal fee structure. Specific terms will be provided during the application process.
Interested startups can apply through our website by filling out the application form. Selected candidates will go through a screening process, including interviews with our selection committee.
We evaluate startups based on their innovation, market potential, scalability, team expertise, and alignment with the areas of focus of the SVA Accelerator.
After the program, startups will continue to receive support through our alumni network, with opportunities for follow-on funding, mentorship, and continued access to the SVA community.
Our program offers both in-person and remote participation options, depending on the specific needs of the company.
Become an SVA sponsor to align your brand with leading-edge products and entrepreneurs, discover new products, market your services, partner with emerging innovators, and connect with potential acquisition targets.
As an investor you will gain priority selection for investments and acquisitions, giving you the first opportunity to choose and invest in or acquire some of the most innovative companies in the AI, biotech, and sustainability industries.
Offer your expertise while continuing to learn and grow as an advisor to some of the world’s most exciting startup companies. Be part of a dynamic network that brings innovative ideas to life, collaborating with diverse experts across industries like biotech, sustainability, and AI technology.
