ACCELERATOR PROGRAMS
Quay accelerators offer 3 primary components that power the access behind innovation:
Curricula from the field: Quay accelerator content is cutting edge because our speakers are out adopting, creating, and implementing new technology every day. In addition to workshops, entrepreneurs access 1:1 time with our staff, a dedicated lead mentor, and a world-class Demo Day.
Cohort: entrepreneurs selected to part of a Quay accelerator cohort conquer a selection process that includes interviews with our staff, custom challenges, and contact with our mentor network via the Selection Committee composed for each cohort.
Community: the key to impactful acceleration is access. Mentors are the most efficient part of any accelerator program, and Quay accelerators have built a network of 700+ mentors who are part of a specific mentorship structure that ensures for entepreneurs that any mentor they meet in-program is someone that can be followed up with and who can open doors.

WHO WE WORK WITH
Made to Partner for Economic Impact
Part of what makes Quay’s commitment to its partners uniquely powerful: we are made to partner. Quay is a service firm — while we may one day raise a fund, our fiduciary duties make our contracts our only focus.
This is critical for institutional partners — innovation partnerships are historically notorious for their unpredictability and sparse gradient of outcomes. No longer. Quay accelerator service teams are real people who priority every day is our partners and the entrepreneurs in our programs.
This means lower upfront costs, trackable and concrete KPI’s, and durable alignment throughout the life of a Quay partnership.
