ABOUT
The Idea Accelerator is a cohort-based program, in this case supported by experts in the entrepreneurship and mobility industries. Kickstart your idea and apply to join if you are: someone with an idea for a potential new business in the mobility industry, looking for experienced guidance to get on the right pathway to launch, and want a supportive team as you begin your entrepreneurial journey. Participation is open to anyone in the country and spots are limited. For the Mobility Cohort in partnership with Capital One, we are looking for a wide-range of ideas in the industry. Mobility is the industry of transporting people and goods. The Mobility Cohort starts with what we see: transportation and vehicles–but that’s not all. We’re looking for ideas that go far beyond simply getting us from point A to B. From automotive marvels and cutting-edge technologies to interconnected solutions that create seamless transportation experiences, we want to see it all.
