"Build something bigger than yourself," advised Roger Kirgues to his son, Joe, and that is just what he did when he and a friend created gener8tor, a nationally ranked accelerator that invests in high-growth startups.  The company takes the best and brightest and provides them the capital to create start-up companies.  

 

Three times a year they invest up to $140K in each of five startups who receive a concierge experience during their 12-week accelerator program. gener8tor supports the growth of these startups through their network of experienced mentors, technologists, corporate partners, angel investors and venture capitalists.

 

Fifty-four gener8tor alums have cumulatively raised more than $110M in follow-on financing. Of these 54 alums, 59% have raised more than $1M in follow-on financing or have been acquired.  

gener8tor invests in high-growth startups, including software, IT, web, SaaS, e-commerce and hardware. Accepted startups receive up to $140K and 12 weeks of mentorship-driven programming. gener8tor is a proud member of the Global Accelerator Network (GAN) and is sponsored by American Family Insurance.
