Comcast NBCUniversal The Farm Accelerator

What they do

The Farm offers a variety of programs to support and nurture selected startups and entrepreneurs, including a twice-a-year, three-month accelerator program, premium incubator office space, cutting edge hardware prototype lab and coworking. Twice a year, beginning in 2018, 10 startups will be invited to participate in a 12-week world-class accelerator program. The program is powered by Boomtown Accelerator, a Boulder, Colorado-based accelerator that has invested in more than 70 startups, of which 83% are in operation, 72% are generating revenue and 75% have raised funding. Boomtown’s unique model constantly evolves based on feedback from participating founders and mentors. The accelerator program is created by entrepreneurs for entrepreneurs to provide a complete business and management curriculum. The goal of the accelerator is not simply to provide the shortest distance between an idea and funding, but instead to support entrepreneurs in building great companies. A major focus of The Farm is developing and adapting a program that is best suited for the startup- therefore, our curriculum is customized to the needs of the individual startup, supporting and educating entrepreneurs where they need it the most.
