Founded in 2013 as the Brooklyn Innovation Center, our accelerator/incubator and programming supports entrepreneurs and startup founders across the borough. Our mission is to transform Brooklyn by helping its 2.8 million residents live better, healthier, and longer lives through entrepreneurship and workforce development. Brooklyn Innovation's accelerator and incubator help startup founders and entrepreneurs develop sustainable growth strategies and get funded via pitches that rise above the noise. We know the investor industry: how the money flows; who's investing it; what they are looking to invest in; and how to get that capital flowing towards your business. Our goal is to help you build something impressive enough to interest later stage investors—and occasionally acquirers.
