500 Global Flagship Accelerator Program
The 500 Accelerator program is more of a investment platform than a grant program but the value they provide is more than a lot of grant programs on this list. They are offering up to $150,000 in finding for founders looking to grow their startup.
The cash on this program is they charge $37,500 per company to participate, but these fees can be deducted from our investment amount, so you don’t have to pay out of pocket. As mentioned above, our gross investment is $150,000. Once program fees are deducted, you would receive $112,500. These program fees help to cover basic costs of running the Seed Accelerator, paying outside speakers and should be viewed like tuition.

- You work at least part-time on your startup
- You are developing a scalable solution (product or service) to address a large market ($500 million or more)
