I'm ECSTATIC to finally announce I'm joining @gener8tor as Managing Director of the Electrify Nevada Accelerator in Reno-Tahoe! Now let me tell you why Nevada is one of the most underrated energy tech ecosystems on the planet... Did you know? ⚡️ NV is #1/2 in solar, geothermal, lithium loop (+ one of the world's largest deposits & only active large scale mine in the US) ⚡️ NV is #4/5 in new data centers and energy storage ⚡️ NV has the LARGEST industrial park (TRIC, right outside Reno & larger than the city of Detroit w/ @Google @Apple @Microsoft @RedwoodMat operating and @OpenAI looking), LARGEST data center campus (@Switch Citadel), and one of the largest buildings (@Tesla Gigafactory) globally ⚡️ NV costs 3-10X less to do business than CA (and is only 3-4 hours from Silicon Valley) ⚡️ NV is growing VC 9x faster & battery manufacturing 6x faster (in Reno alone) than national averages ⚡️ NV has a Top 50 GDP rivaling New Zealand and Greece And the proof is already here: @positron_ai hit unicorn status out of Reno in 34 months ($1B+ valuation in Feb 2026). @tensorwave broke Nevada's startup funding record twice in one year out of Las Vegas ($100M Series A). Amperesand raised an $80M Series A and chose Reno for their US manufacturing hub. The success stories are piling up. Not to mention @gener8tor is now the largest accelerator network in the world with over 450 programs completed across 50 cities. Major network effects for founders. + Our program is backed by @US_EDA @DiversifyNevada @unlv @unevadareno @EDAWNReno I have been based in Reno-Tahoe for almost 4 years watching this come together, and now I'm HYPED to help build it. We will be running 4 programs annually across Nevada with bases in Reno-Tahoe and Las Vegas, supporting early-stage founders who want to seamlessly plug into the NV energy ecosystem. If you are working on anything AI or deep tech in energy, lithium, critical minerals, physical AI, batteries, grid infrastructure, nuclear, geothermal, AI data center power, manufacturing, or frontier energy applications, I want to hear from you. DMs open always. Applications opening soon. 🏗️ Let's build!

Congratulations to the 8th cohort of gBETA Alaska Winter 2026 on a successful Showcase on April 21. 🚀 Over the past seven weeks, five Alaska-based startups worked alongside mentors, investors, and ecosystem leaders through gBETA Alaska, building momentum as they prepare to scale and pursue new opportunities. The showcase at the UAF Center for Innovation brought together founders, community partners, and supporters from across the state to hear these companies share what they’re building and where they’re headed next. Congratulations to Erik Williams and Jason Warta of @beadedcloud, Michael Kerr and Jason Child of Bind Verify, Carl Rosen of MyEyesAI, Aaron Cox of @SuprSketch, and to Richard Rogers of Tundra Electronics for the progress they’ve made throughout the program. Thank you to Peter Webley and the UAF Center for Innovation for helping make this program possible and for continuing to invest in Alaska’s entrepreneurial ecosystem. Programs like gBETA Alaska help create stronger pathways for founders to grow innovative companies while building long-term impact across the region. Looking forward to seeing what comes next for this cohort! #Alaska #Entrepreneurship #Startups #Innovation #AlaskaStartups

@sososazesh @Amank1412 ++

@Amank1412 And for founders who want a 1:1 experience instead a batch-based program, 43.io is an accelerator alternative that offers $250-500K for 5-10%

good advice for any accelerator application
