Overview

Entrepreneurs Roundtable Accelerator, usually shortened to ERA, is among the longest-running accelerator programmes in New York and one of the most established points of entry into the city's startup network.

Its structure leans heavily on mentorship: a large volunteer network of New York operators and investors meets cohort companies over a compressed period.

Program Structure

  • Fixed cohorts running several months
  • Investment in exchange for equity
  • Extensive structured mentor matching in the opening weeks
  • Focus on customer development and fundraising readiness
  • Demo day to the New York investor community

What They Look For

  • Teams building in or committed to New York
  • Sectors reflecting the city's strengths — fintech, media, commerce, health
  • Founders coachable enough to use a dense mentor network well
  • A product in market or close to it
  • Clear reasoning about who the customer is
Notable Portfolio

Companies they've backed.

ERA's alumni base spans fintech, adtech, commerce, and healthcare software, tracking the industries where New York has natural customer access.

For founders new to the city, the mentor network is generally the more valuable component of the programme than the cheque itself.
