A globally recognized institution, New York University offers a wealth of resources. NYU Tandon School of Engineering excels in research areas covering smart cities to cybersecurity, and startups aligned with these disciplines can benefit from access to some of the world's brightest minds in these fields as well a considerable talent pipeline.
Up to two founders per startup are awarded desk space at the Data Future Lab's Downtown Brooklyn office during the six-month program — collaborate in-person for free!
Because Catalyst NYC accepts just six companies per cohort, you'll receive focused attention from our team.
From pro bono legal support from Goodwin, pitch coaching, financial planning, and resources from partners like Amazon and Google, our startups receive what they need to reach the next stage of business development.
After the six-month Catalyst accelerator and based on mutually agreed upon milestones, graduates can transition to our Next Round program, which we encourage for continued growth and support.
We'll introduce you to influencers and mentors in New York City's entrepreneurial ecosystem, facilitating speaking engagements and other marketing opportunities.
This state program grants startups tax-free status while they're enrolled in accelerator or incubator programs at approved organizations like the Future Labs.
Supported by a student intern, our companies can access the 10,000 square-foot MakerSpace at NYU Tandon's Brooklyn campus.
Unlike non-curated coworking spaces, the Future Labs sports a community of collaborative, passionate founders with a vested interest in each other's success.
