Early-stage startups based in Oklahoma City have an opportunity to skyrocket their business. The Greater Oklahoma City Chamber has teamed up with venture capital firm gener8tor to offer the gBETA accelerator program. It’s a free, seven-week pre-accelerator program specifically designed for startups aiming for rapid growth and seeking venture capital funding. The program helps entrepreneurs refine their business strategies, develop an entrepreneurial mindset and become investor ready. “One of my passions is teaching businesses that every business has the ability to be scalable, and that’s not something, especially in minority communities, that we oftentimes dream of or even know how to dream of. Everybody who thinks they can apply should definitely apply,” said gBETA Oklahoma City Program Manager Elizabeth Larios. “For businesses that maybe aren’t considering [applying], they probably should consider it because I would love to still work with them.” WHO CAN APPLY? To be eligible for gBETA, you must be based in Oklahoma City, able to commit five hours a week to the program and ready to grow. gBETA is open to startups at various stages, from those with just an idea to those with significant revenue. WHAT’S THE GBETA PROGRAM LIKE? The gBETA program is structured to provide you with the knowledge, mentorship and resources needed to succeed. Here’s a glimpse of what you can expect:
CONTINUED SUPPORT Once you’ve completed the seven-week program, you become a gBETA alumni. But the support doesn’t end there. Program directors stay in touch and continue to provide support, and you remain part of the gener8tor network for the life of your business. This means you’ll be considered for future opportunities like gener8tor’s investment accelerators or introductions to new mentors and investors. If you’re an aspiring entrepreneur, this could be the launchpad your startup needs to reach new heights. Apply now for the fall cohort. The deadline is Sept. 18.
