FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Why are you different to other accelerators?
There is no other accelerator who interacts with companies the way we do. We are as much an aggressive growth and brand studio as an accelerator. Although our accelerator program initially lasts 8 weeks, we work with our startups for the life of their companies. Whether it be introductions to customers, business strategy, or follow on investment, we consider ourselves an active partner in every company we invest in. Our mindset is set by our founder in his TEDx talk.
How/When will I be able to contact Investors?
Every week Expert Dojo will reach out to investors for you. Our objective is to match you up with the most suitable investors in our database to arrange meetings. We base this on your industry and investment round. We can’t promise that investors will be interested in meeting, but will provide you with the feedback necessary to increase your chances.
How can I register as an Investor?
You can register as an Investor using this simple application. Once you’ve been approved you will have full access to the best deal flow in America.

We invest in pre-seed and seed companies ready to scale quickly. Most of our startups are minority and female founded technology companies.
