Applications for the gener8tor Reno-Tahoe Accelerator 2023 are now open. Join gener8tor Reno-Tahoe
for a 12-week in-person, concierge experience for high-growth startups. They are a nationally ranked accelerator that invests in only five companies per program.
Accepted startups receive $100K and 12 weeks of mentorship-driven programming. This is an industry-agnostic and business model-agnostic program. They accept all types of startups across all industries and all business models. The selected five companies will need to be in Reno for the duration of the program and maintain a meaningful presence in the state of Nevada for a year afterward.
Reno-Tahoe is one of the fastest-growing regions in the country with a booming culture of creativity and innovation. And they have never lost touch with their unapologetically gritty pioneering spirit. Forward-thinking companies such as Tesla and Patagonia call the area home, along with other innovative startups spearheading the next wave of growth. With the Desert Research Institute and the University of Nevada, Reno, there are scientists, engineers, and business leaders evolving areas in ClimateTech, FinTech, and BioTech as examples. Lake Tahoe, the jewel of the area, is a world-class resort destination and it also has some of the country’s biggest investors.
