This is a six-month, part-time mentorship-led accelerator focused on early stage growth, capturing market share and getting tech companies investment-ready. Our nonprofit fund tied directly to our Seed Stage Accelerator invests between $25,000 and $225,000 in each of the companies accepted into the program. The amount invested is dependent on the company reaching crucial milestones as determined by a panel of key partners, mentors, and our board. Companies accepted into the program will have access to programming and been-there-done-that mentors that will drive their success. The program culminates with a day-long Investor Showcase, drawing investors from across the Eastern seaboard and beyond. Seed Stage Accelerator was created to help young companies poised for a step-change in their growth to cross the perilous gap in funding often seen at this stage. We help them to attract funding beyond the friends, family, and a credit card or three that sustained them in the earliest stages, as well as rapidly mature their management teams for the rapid growth ahead. Hint: many of the teams accepted in Seed Stage Accelerator started their startup journey in our Ideation Stage Accelerator program. Admittance to the program is highly competitive. Ready to launch a hockey-stick of growth? Accelerate with us.

How to be Omnipresent in your Marketing with Brett Burky
2019-04-02 12:00 - 13:30 (America/Halifax) | StarterStudio, 101 S Garland Ave #108, Orlando, FL, 32801, us
Are you working on launching a new marketing campaign? Join Brett to learn what marketing strategies stick!
Who is Brett Burky?He is a Co-Founder of Paperstac. Paperstac is the first fully digital mortgage note transaction engine.
Paperstac came from a need of the Paperstac team in the Mortgage Note space. You know that it is a great investment class but it sure is antiquated. It could be scary too when you’re wiring money to strangers for mortgage notes and hoping that they would send the collateral files.
Then once you got the collateral files, you’re hoping it is exactly what they said it was and not copies.
In 2014 they set out to change that and decided the Mortgage Note industry needed a upgrade.
They’ve digitized the entire process from negotiations to contracts to notary and shipment. Paperstac takes a process that for one note can take over 2 weeks and can reduce it to hours. While with their pool feature it takes the process down from weeks to days.
Their mission is to have this help us in our goal of saving 10,000 homes. They know that if we can make the process a lot easier for us, then others will want that same technology.
That is why Paperstac is open to any asset holders. Whether you have 1 or run a trade desk and have 1000s you can use the power of Paperstac to close more deals faster and safer.

Our presenter: James Alexander
What haven’t I done should be the question when it comes to reading this bio? My name is James Alexander and I am the guy in the Orange Bowtie. I am also known in some circles as Mr. Nkredible. Why is it important that you remember those two names? Ask me and I’ll tell you. I have started companies with varying degrees of success resulting in professional and personal losses.I’m a Detroit native who graduated in August 2001 with a Bachelor’s. There I majored in Broadcast & Cinematic Arts and minored in Entrepreneurship from Central Michigan University. Full scholarship thanks to a little game the country loves called Football.From there life took a turn upon graduating I taught Middle school Math and developed a love for numbers it was after my first year that my drive for TV grew beyond my environment, so I decided to go back to school but before I did that, I wanted to do an internship. I did one in Baltimore, Maryland at a station called WBAL TV 11 News an NBC Affiliate owned by Hearst Argyle. Long story on how I got the internship. Ask me and I’ll tell you. Once there I spent a minimum of 60 hours a week at the station as an intern. I produced cut-ins and shows as an intern. Once it was time to leave, I was given a choice go back to school or stay in Baltimore. I stayed and was hired as an Asst. Producer with responsibilities for assisting the morning show producers then producing the noon show. After a few months I earned the morning show and the noon. So, I was producing two shows for the #1 revenue generating station in the group.After a year in that position Mr. Alexander yearned to do more which meant going National. In 2004 he was hired to produce the News for the nationally distributed Television show “The Daily Buzz”, which broadcasted out of Orlando, Florida.
