Non-technical founders are welcome, but having at least one technical co-founder is strongly preferred.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Tech Focus<\/strong>: Startups must have a <strong>significant technology component<\/strong> (software or software-enabled). ERA invests across diverse sectors\u2014B2B, B2C, fintech, e-commerce, climate, etc.\u2014as long as there\u2019s a clear NYC market opportunity.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Full-Time Commitment<\/strong>: Founders are expected to <strong>quit any part-time jobs<\/strong> and focus on building their company during the accelerator.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Company Formation<\/strong>: ERA invests only in <strong>U.S. C Corporations<\/strong>. International startups may need to \u201cflip\u201d their current structure into a U.S. C Corp before joining.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>ERA Application Process<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Online Application<\/strong>\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Apply through ERA\u2019s website.

Provide a clear pitch deck, market validation, and founder background.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Final Selection<\/strong>\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>If accepted, you\u2019ll join the four-month program in NYC.

Many ERA companies have raised prior rounds. As long as you\u2019re still at a stage where ERA\u2019s support, funding, and network can accelerate your growth, you\u2019re eligible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Q2: Do I have to be in NYC for the entire four months?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>A2:<\/strong> The <strong>Summer 2025 program<\/strong> is hybrid, but in-person participation is strongly encouraged. Much of the benefit comes from on-site collaboration, networking, and mentor access.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Q3: What if my product is still in development?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>A3:<\/strong> That\u2019s fine. Many accepted startups are pre-launch or in early testing. Show a strong roadmap and demonstrate a commitment to iterative product development.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Q4: Do I have to incorporate as a U.S. C Corp?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>A4:<\/strong> Yes. ERA only invests in U.S. C Corporations. If you\u2019re an LLC or foreign entity, you\u2019ll need to \u201cflip\u201d your structure before finalizing the investment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Q5: How does Demo Day work?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>A5:<\/strong> Demo Day marks the end of the four-month program. Each founder presents on stage to a curated audience of angels, super-angels, and VCs\u2014often leading to meaningful investor follow-up.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Final Thoughts on Getting Into Entrepreneurs Roundtable Accelerator (ERA)<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Entrepreneurs Roundtable Accelerator (ERA)<\/strong> is an excellent choice for tech startups seeking hands-on mentorship, a vibrant founder community, and deep connections within NYC\u2019s ecosystem. By showcasing early traction, a committed team, and a clear vision for leveraging the city\u2019s unique advantages, you\u2019ll position yourself for acceptance. Once in ERA, you\u2019ll gain seed funding, expert guidance, and a robust network\u2014tools you can leverage far beyond the four-month accelerator.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>\ud83d\udca1 Ready to Take the Next Step?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you&#8217;re applying to <strong>ERA accelerator<\/strong> \u2014 or any other accelerator \u2014 let <strong>XRaise<\/strong> help you get there smarter and faster.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Our <strong>AI-powered assistant<\/strong> matches your startup with the right programs, helps you <strong>optimize applications<\/strong>, and tracks every deadline so nothing slips through the cracks.
