Develop. Deploy. Disrupt.
The Heritage Group knows hardtech. We also know innovation. This rare combination makes us the perfect partner in scaling your startup. Our Accelerator customizes our programming each year to align with the chosen cohort companies. We bring in industry professionals and functional experts based on the needs and stages of our cohort. Our programming is tweaked to meet our founders where they are so we provide optimal value at the time of need. With more than 5,000 employees and hundreds of ecosystem partners, we are ready to strategically support your development. Our lab analysts and operating companies can help you deploy your products so you can go disrupt an industry and just maybe make this world a better, cleaner and more sustainable place.
There is no better way to gauge the value of an accelerator than to hear from its alumni. We can tell you we’re founder-friendly and that our value can be measured in lab-tested data, pilots deployed and funds raised but the truth is, these are just three ways to measure our program. We also drive value through providing professional training that helps you develop skills and deepen knowledge as well as expanding your industry and professional network and connecting you with other founders who can share hacks and make introductions that stay with you for life.
But don’t take our word for it. Ask our alumni founders.
