A Note from the 43North Team
Hey, seed-stage founders! 43North's 2024 application is now open, and we're looking for five startups to each receive a $1 million investment and a spot in our 2025 accelerator program.
Now in our 10th year, our track record speaks volumes: with 69 startups in our portfolio, including ACV Auctions, which went public in 2021, we’re co-investors with VCs like Bessemer, Greycroft, and Rise of the Rest, to name a few.
At 43North, we understand that startups need more than just funding to reach their full potential. That’s why our program offers a platform approach of resources designed to propel your business forward.
Funding, Mentorship, and Community
43North portfolio companies receive an investment of $1 million in exchange for 5% equity. Companies are required to relocate to Buffalo, NY, for one year and work out of the 43North HQ, where they’ll receive:
One-on-one mentorship with experts in their field
Class A office space in the newly renovated Seneca One Tower in Downtown Buffalo
Access to customers, vendors, partners, and an extensive network of nearly 1,000 investors
Recruiting, fundraising, and marketing support from the 43North team
The opportunity to operate tax-free as part of STARTUP-NY
Investing in Seed-Stage Startups
Our startups are often seed-stage companies that have:
Established traction with paying customers
Already raised venture capital investment(s)
Three or more full-time team members
Additionally, founders should be willing to relocate their company to Buffalo, NY, and see significant value and opportunity in operating here.
Many past winners are graduates of other incubators or accelerators.
However, if you have an incredible company that falls outside this description, we want to know about you.
If you have a proven track record, a stellar team, and the drive to sharpen your edge while building in Buffalo, NY, we encourage you to apply. Don’t miss this chance to join the ranks of our portfolio.
Explore our program details and submit your application today – the deadline is June 7, 2024!
