LightSpeed Innovations' Philosophy- the Accelerator is Just the Beginning!

LightSpeed Innovations is the aerospace start-up factory. We work across the spectrum of space and aviation and all technologies in-between.
​
We believe in hard work, disruptive start-up concepts, sound strategy, solid teamwork, and bias towards execution. We subscribe to the pay-it-forward philosophy, believing that will enable a strong start-up ecosystem in the aerospace sector.  

We provide businesses with access to a network of relevant mentors and advisors, and work hard to connect companies with the resources to succeed - from Strategy to Mentors to Marketing on a foundation of ongoing support post accelerator. 
Strategy/Guidance
We work with you to accelerate business formulation, develop market entry  and product strategy, understand and analyze growth and metrics, and create the right pitches to match the right investors or customers.


Mentoring
​Launching a business can be a challenging experience. We pair you with a team of at least two mentors to provide coaching beyond the LightSpeed team.  
We have found that diverse yet consistent interaction with the same team of mentors builds a stronger foundation for success. 

Community
We are about building a community.  Ask any of our alumni.  We invite them back during our accelerator  to share their experiences and build new relationships with you, learn themselves.  When you join LightSpeed, you join a community. 

It takes a village...

Marketing/Exposure
​LightSpeed does not just focus on investors.  We host customer pitch events during and after the accelerator program.  
We help you create marketing materials; we teach you
about PR and gaining exposure with little to no funds.  We leverage our network to expand marketing reach. 
Ongoing Support
A hallmark of our program is that it does not end with Demo Day.  The core team sticks with you beyond and interfaces to continue to help you grow and navigate even as your business needs shift.  You have access to ongoing events, are invited back to network and meet new customers, new investors, re-engage.  Again, we are building a community...
