BBJ: These Startups Tapped for Fledgling Trajectory Next Accelerator Program

Thursday, June 7, 2018

Betamore, Johns Hopkins Technology Ventures and the University of Maryland, Baltimore have launched the first cohort of a new collaborative accelerator program, called Trajectory Next.

The 12-week training program has been branded as a kind of post-accelerator that will offer startups support and assistance as they work to build up their teams, acquire new customers and develop revenue streams. It is designed to serve startups that are navigating the period after graduating from an accelerator or incubator, specifically those operating in the health technology and life science spaces.

“We saw an unmet need in the entrepreneurial space for a post-accelerator training program that develops the unique skills needed for early sales and tapped our networks across the state to help startups shorten the health care sales cycle,” Megan Wahler of Johns Hopkins Technology Ventures, said in a statement. “Beyond the teams participating, we have had a great response from industry and institutions looking to get involved.”
