Greeley residents can learn about the five local startups selected for the city’s gBETA spring cohort at a free event next week.
In May, five companies were chosen for the second round of the city’s startup accelerator, gBETA Greeley. The free seven-week program run by the national venture firm gener8tor helps early-stage startups grow, connect with mentors and seek funding. This second round of startups builds on the success of the fall cohort, and the Spring Showcase offers startups an opportunity to pitch new products in AgTech, AI, robotics and manufacturing.
The event will take place from 4-6 p.m. Thursday, June 12 at the Atlas Theater, 709 16th St. Attendees will have the opportunity to connect with regional leaders, mentors and Greeley’s entrepreneurial community, bringing together founders, investors and business experts.
The spring cohort consists of the following startups:
