gener8tor

A US accelerator network operating in cities outside the traditional coastal hubs.

Program Type
Accelerator Network
Headquarters
Milwaukee, Wisconsin
Focus
Underserved US Markets

Overview

gener8tor was built on the premise that talented founders exist in cities that venture capital largely ignores, and that a local programme can surface them.

It runs accelerators, pre-accelerators, and skills programmes across a wide range of American cities, frequently in partnership with state governments, universities, and corporations.

Program Structure

  • Cohort accelerators run in numerous US cities
  • Investment in exchange for equity in the main programme
  • Free pre-accelerator programmes with no equity taken
  • Partnerships with states, universities, and corporations
  • Explicit focus on founders outside coastal ecosystems

What They Look For

  • Founders based in or willing to build in the programme's region
  • Early traction and a working product
  • Underrepresented founders, an explicit programme priority
  • Businesses that can scale beyond the local market
  • Coachability and engagement with mentorship
Notable Portfolio

Companies they've backed.

gener8tor's portfolio spans software, health, and consumer companies built in Midwestern and other non-coastal American markets.
