Hello!

 

Public Safety Communications Research (PSCR) Division of the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) is accepting applications for the second round of PULSE – a twelve-week business accelerator. Through PULSE, we seek to accelerate small businesses with communication technology innovation in support of public safety communities—law enforcement, fire service and emergency medical services—and the citizens they serve.

 

This virtual accelerator, powered by Tipping Point Solutions and the Boulder SBDC Foundation, provides weekly cohort sessions and one-on-one assistance with specialists and experts from business, technology and public safety, all aiming to help you create comprehensive plans for commercialization or growth of your technology or solution.

 

Signal, the second round of the accelerator will run from September 9 to December 9, 2021, and the weekly cohort sessions will meet virtually for two hours on Thursdays starting at 11 AM EST/10 AM CST/9AM MST/8 AM PST. Each round of the accelerator will be comprised of 8-10 ventures.

 

What to look forward to:

       Pay with only your time, commitment, and dedication to working on your business, as the cost of the accelerator will be covered by PSCR.

       Benefit from the experience! This 12-week virtual program has been honed over 10 years of accelerating technology-based businesses.

        Engage with an "in the field" business development program featuring a focus on commercialization. This not an academic curriculum.

        Receive over 50 hours of ongoing strategic consulting and market research to help validate existing target markets, expand your understanding, and often uncover new opportunities.

         Focus on non-dilutive capital sources so the business does not have to give away equity in your company. 

        Work with hand-picked, highly experienced specialists and subject matter experts who are active in their field.

·        The participants must be an existing business entity or planning to be one. The business founder(s) and key decision-makers will need to commit to full participation during the sessions and throughout the process.

 

If you’re curious to learn more, we invite you to attend our information session on August 5, 2021, and don’t forget the Pulse Accelerator 2021 Application is due August 13, 2021.
