How to Get Into ERA: NYC’s Leading Accelerator

Thinking about launching your startup in New York City? In this episode, we dive into Entrepreneurs Roundtable Accelerator (ERA) — NYC’s most established accelerator for early-stage tech founders. Sophia chats with Alex, a founder and ERA alum, about what it’s really like inside the four-month program, from weekly mentor meetings and pitch practice to Demo Day and funding. They unpack what ERA looks for in applicants, how the NYC startup scene plays into it, and why the right team dynamic matters just as much as traction.

If you're applying to ERA — or any top accelerator — head to XRaise. You’ll find deep insights on ERA, help with your application, plus access to grants, pitch events, startup perks, and angel investors. Everything you need to grow your startup, all in one place.
