How does the accelerator work? MassChallenge runs one accelerator program in each of its locations and in each of our verticals each year.

MassChallenge does not take equity from the startups we support (yes, really). The accelerator is open to startups across any industry, from anywhere in the world. MassChallenge is a global network, which means more resources and more access for all startups. It is one of the largest accelerators in the world – which means more resources for its startups. MassChallenge uses a competition framework to facilitate its accelerator program: there are two rounds of judging during the application process to select startups for the cohort. Experts from the startup community serve as MassChallenge judges. Cash prizes are awarded at the end of the accelerator, based on a final round of judging. Why apply? MassChallenge judges look for high-impact startups, with a viable path to success and some traction/progress in their plans. Startups do not receive any upfront funding but do have the  opportunity  to compete for approximately $2 million in zero-equity cash awards at the end of the program. It does offer a limited number of scholarships, provided by the sponsor organizations.
