Started in Washington, DC by Sean Glass, Allen Gannett, and Collin Gutman, Acceleprise was founded because there was a lack of resources for early stage enterprise technology companies. After investing in nearly fifty companies, Acceleprise expanded with a second fund to San Francisco. Led by Michael Cardamone, a mentor in the original program, Acceleprise recruited three enterprise leaders as general partners: Rowan Trollope, Nick Mehta, and Karen Appleton.
We believe that we can help build the next generation of great SaaS companies. We only accept 7-10 companies per cohort, so we can be very hands-on and tailor some of the program to each company’s needs. Think of us as an extension of your team; in the early days, we can add significant value by leveraging our extensive network and operating experience. We are still in the early innings of cloud software adoption – and the opportunities are endless. We are excited by what our companies have accomplished to date and look forward to what the future brings.
