Innovation Depot’s Velocity Accelerator program has picked eight startup companies for its 2021 cohort.
More than 50 companies applied for the program, now in its fifth year, which recruits tech companies and gives them access to $50,000 in capital, along with resources and mentoring in order to grow their operations quickly.
But this is the second year the program will be affected by the COVID-19 pandemic, which hit right in the middle of the 2020 cohort.
