As the Covid-19 pandemic has derailed in-person accelerator programs across the world, Boulder-based Boomtown Accelerators has pivoted to a virtual program, inviting a famous investor to host its demo day.
On May 28th at 4 p.m. Boomtown will host its 13th Demo Day as a first-ever online experience, featuring a 12-company cohort and hosted by Barbara Corcoran, an investor on ABC's Shark Tank.
When the program began earlier this year, founders from around the globe gathered in downtown Boulder. Three weeks later, they quickly transitioned to a remote program, dispersing to six home countries.
Boomtown pivoted its curriculum to a virtual experience in early-March through the remaining nine weeks of the program and broadened the program's benefits, by incorporating virtual whiteboards, video recordings, virtual networking sessions, and expansion of collaboration tools.
“Entrepreneurs today must know how to lead in a crisis,” said Boomtown CEO Toby Krout in a news release. “Innovative thinking must empower humanity and our startups have risen to the challenge. The experience they gained over these past few months included powerful, valuable lessons that will serve them for the rest of their careers.”
This cohort is 50 percent minority founded, with entrepreneurs hailing from India, Chile, Portugal, Ukraine, Mexico, Canada and the U.S.
