Bring A Real Accelerator To Phoenix
Backstage Capital is Looking for a Fourth City to Accelerate
Sep 9, 2018 · 1 min read

Phoenix doesn’t have any true accelerators right now. We have a lot of incubators, but there is not one example of an “accelerator” investing $X into a certain amount of startups for X% amount of equity. Well, I was at Disrupt this past week, and came across an opportunity to put Phoenix in a great position to get our first accelerator here, funded by Backstage Capital, a quickly growing VC firm who funds women, people of color, and LGBTQ founders.
The Terms
Backstage will invest $100,000 for 5% of all companies in the accelerator.
