General information:

MassChallenge is the most startup friendly accelerator on the planet. We run a global network of accelerators that harnesses the power of our community to connect the world’s highest impact startups with the right resources in order to drive growth, create value and improve the world.

We take no equity and during the course of our 4-month accelerator program, startups compete for the chance to win a share of a $1M prize pot in every market where we operate.

We are a nonprofit. We value impact over equity, which means we can focus entirely on helping entrepreneurs win.
