Global Accelerator Network (GAN)

The Global Accelerator Network's goal is simple: support the top accelerators that grow top companies. GAN is the global champion of the seed-stage, mentorship-driven accelerator model and includes over 50 of the most respected accelerators from six continents around the world.

In 2010, two co-founders of TechStars—Brad Feld and David Cohen—had the idea to connect the top mentorship-driven, seed-stage accelerators around the world. At the time, TechStars was becoming more well-known and accelerators were popping up everywhere. Alongside the White House’s Startup America Initiative, they launched to align top accelerators and create a standardized model for their success.

With Global Accelerator Network, members and their founders receive unparalleled support, along with world-class networking opportunities, and access to the best new talent and ideas via our dynamic application system.
