Accelerate Breakfast Pitch series

The next event of the quarterly Accelerate Breakfast Pitch series, presented by Fairfax County and George Mason University, will be held on Friday, July 19, 2024, at MITRE in Tysons. The Accelerate Breakfast Series are regular events that bring together entrepreneurs and investors for curated pitch opportunities, to support growth of the local entrepreneurial network. The program will bolster Fairfax County and the region’s start-up ecosystem to drive investment to local companies.

At the event five companies seeking seed funding ($500K – $2M) will present their business models and growth strategies to a distinguished group of investors. This platform is an excellent opportunity to gain visibility, secure investment, and build strategic partnerships.

Applications are being accepted in high-growth, innovation, and technology sectors across Virginia, D.C., and Maryland. This is an opportunity for companies to demonstrate their potential and innovation within a wide range of industries. The selected participants will be given coaching focusing on their business’s key aspects, growth potential, and value proposition. This is ultimately to prepare for the Accelerate Investor Conference in October.
