Iowa Startup Accelerator is a VC fund in Cedar Rapids focused on Mobile and Delivery. Iowa’s first 90-day accelerator program for pre- and early-revenue startups.While the Corridor currently has significant resources available to entrepreneurs, most are aimed at companies that have already proved themselves viable. This newly-formed accelerator will attract and cultivate early stage startups, helping to turn concepts intobusinesses ready for funding.Teams will compete for up to 10 spots in the accelerator program, which will begin taking applications early in 2014. Accepted teams will receive seed funding, access to a broad mentor network, and entrepreneurial boot camp training. The 90-day program culminates in a “demo day” in which each startup shows off its progress for potential customers and investors.
