This is an industry-agnostic and business model-agnostic program. They accept ALL types of startups across ALL industries and ALL business models.

Reno-Tahoe is one of the fastest-growing regions in the country with a booming culture of creativity and innovation. And they’ve never lost touch with their unapologetically gritty pioneering spirit. Forward-thinking companies such as Tesla and Patagonia call the area home, along with other innovative startups spearheading the next wave of growth. With the Desert Research Institute and the University of Nevada, Reno, there are scientists, engineers, and business leaders evolving areas in ClimateTech, FinTech, and BioTech as examples. Lake Tahoe, the jewel of the area, is a world-class resort destination and it also has some of the country’s biggest investors.
