中国加速是佳速投资咨询(上海)有限公司旗下品牌。Chinaccelerator is the first and longest running startup accelerator program in China based out of Shanghai and run by SOSVentures. My focus is driving the Chinaccelerator program with two batches of 10 companies convening in the Spring and Fall
Chinaccelerator is the best place for seed to early-stage startups that have the potential to expand globally. So far, our 3-month accelerator program has taken 6 batches of extraordinary founders and propelled them to their full potential.
Twice a year, we handpick a small number of promising startups and invest a small amount of money ($30,000) for up to 7% equity of each startup. The startups move to Shanghai for 3 months, during which we work intensively with them to get the company in the best possible shape, and help refine their pitch to investors. Each cycle culminates in Demo Day, when the startups present their companies to a carefully selected, invite-only audience. But Chinaccelerator doesn’t end on Demo Day. We and the Global Accelerator Network continue to help founders for the life of their company, and beyond.
Chinaccelerator is backed by SOSV, which is a leading early stage venture capital firm with offices in Shanghai, Shenzhen, New York, San Francisco and Cork, Ireland.
