Quest Level: Expert.

Federal and state governments spend billions of dollars a year on technology innovation, acting as a catalyst for startups seeking early traction from investors and customers. By providing access to private capital, public funding, and extensive talent networks, The Quest Accelerator cultivates centers of gravity for innovation in government and private sector.

Through hands-on training and events, cohort startups learn the fundamentals of engaging with government audiences, building a pipeline of customers, and scaling innovations from the R&D stage to final product.    

The cohorts directly engage with federal, state, and local government stakeholders to better understand real-world challenges and work closely with the accelerator team to design pilots around the government applications of their technologies. Selected companies will also gain access to a robust network of private investors and commercial partners.
