What it takes to commercialize and scale an energy tech business

Bringing on an investor is a long term relationship. In the early days of working with Accelerate, it became clear the team has the track record, credibility, and expertise to support their portfolio companies in reaching the next level.

Finding the right investor is a critical step for a high-growth technology company. We chose Accelerate Fund because of their reputation, their strong network, and the chemistry we felt with the team.

Wesley Sessenwein CEO and Founder, PayShepherd

It was important to us to have strong relationships and alignment with local investors who believe in what we’re doing. Accelerate Fund led our pre-seed round and helped attract other angels wanting to invest in us.

The Accelerate Fund team was an early believer in us, which helped bring other investors onboard. They are trusted advisors who understand the nuances of an early-stage high-growth business.
