AcceleratorHK Applications Open for Cohort #2

AcceleratorHK, the world’s only startup accelerator focused on cross platform mobile development with HTML5 and Phonegap, has opened its applications for cohort #2 to be based in Hong Kong. The 14 week program runs from May 13th until August 16th, with Demo Day the week of August 12th in Hong Kong.

The application is here and will remain open for three weeks, until April 5th. The short listed companies will be lined up for interviews in early April and the final selected companies will be notified by mid to late April. As explained in our “About” page, we will be making a $15,000 (USD) investment in each company in exchange for an 8% equity stake as well as be providing co-working space for the 14 weeks in Hong Kong as well as a program in Customer Development.

The best applications are teams of two co-founders, one “business” and one “technical”. The team should have an idea and be ready to do customer development on that idea-even be willing to start over if that is what the results of their customer development tells them.

Hong Kong is an awesome place to customer development and validate your mobile app. The place is mobile crazy and everyone has a smart phone.

The first cohort of AcceleratorHK graduated on February 6th at their Demo Day. Take a look at how much fun it was preparing for Demo Day.
