Back in 2010, 500 Global (then known as 500 Startups) was one of the first firms to create an accelerator program and shape how venture capital fostered early-stage startup innovation. 500 Global’s four month long program was hosted in Silicon Valley and helped founders take their companies to the next level.
Over a decade later, 500 Global continues to offer founders the opportunity for a seed investment ($150,000), as well as access to full programming that’s focused on startup growth and scaling. The Program is hosted at our headquarters in Palo Alto, California.
