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. Our goal is simple: support the top accelerators that grow top companies. Because of the strength and connections of our members, mentors, investors, founders, and strategic partners… well, the results speak for themselves. We just love what we do.
Our Story
In 2010, two co-founders of TechStars—Brad Feld and David Cohen—had the grand 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, we launched to align top accelerators and create a standardized model for their success. The rest is, as they say, history.
