MACH37 is a start-up accelerator designed to facilitate the creation of the next generation of cyber product companies.

MACH37 refers to “escape velocity,” the minimum velocity needed to escape the earth’s gravitational field. The owners of MACH37, VentureScope, felt that this was an apt name for their accelerator because newly launched technology companies must push past forces that inherently prevent their growth.

Their unique 90-day program places heavy emphasis on the validation of product ideas and the development of relationships that produce an initial customer base and investment capital – accelerating a founder’s path to a sustainable business model. Since 2013, MACH37 has launched over 70 cyber companies – 83% of their graduates are still in business and 64% have raised follow-on investment.
