PARTNER HOME
ACTIVE DEALS | ACROSS INDUSTRIES | PRE TO C
Grand Central Tech is an accelerator. But it doesn't charge rent, or equity. It graduates successful companies from free to paid office spaces and charges corporate partners-- Google, Microsoft, IBM, Goldman Sachs, and JP Morgan Chase, to name a few-- for access to the brilliant companies it recruits. This week, it celebrates the beginning of its second year-long program supporting almost 20 young companies.
Partnerships are plentiful, and valuable. Coders building tools for coders can more quickly get their products to strategic clients. Education startups are eager to hear more about big employers' most-sought skills for new hires. Founders working in technologies like Bitcoin see opportunity in larger companies' recent interest in their fields of specialty.
And the startups seem to be curated for their value to corporate partners. The up-and-comer companies are the type that will meaningfully contribute to existing corporate ecosystems, not apocalyptically disrupt them.
