Eight high-growth startups selected for gener8tor OKC Investment Accelerator
Eight high-growth startups from across the country have been selected for the gener8tor Oklahoma City Investment Accelerator, each eligible to receive a $100,000 investment as part of a 12-week, mentorship-driven program.
The accelerator includes one-on-one coaching, mentor-driven programming, access to more than $1 million in perks and deals and over 100 connections to the gener8tor network of investors and mentors.
The gener8tor OKC Investment Accelerator is part of the Oklahoma Accelerator Program, funded by the Oklahoma Legislature. The program is delivered in partnership with the Oklahoma Center for the Advancement of Science and Technology, Cortado Ventures and Boyd Street Ventures.
“It’s always exciting to see the energy and ideas these startups bring,” said Jennifer McGrail, executive director of the Oklahoma Center for the Advancement of Science and Technology. “We can’t wait to see the impact they’ll have on Oklahoma’s innovation economy.”
Nathaniel Harding, managing partner of Cortado Ventures, said the firm works with top partners to support innovative companies in the Midcontinent. “Partnering with gener8tor and investing alongside in outstanding pre-seed companies is a force-multiplier and embodies our vision to back founders building outside traditional coastal hubs. The gener8tor model proves the advantage of backing companies at the forefront of this third wave of innovation.”
More than 150 startups from across the country applied for the 2025 program. The eight companies were selected based on investor readiness and growth potential.
At the end of the program, founders will pitch their startups to investors, community leaders and the public at the third annual gener8tor OKC Investment Accelerator Community Showcase on June 10 from 4:30-7 p.m. at Factory Obscura. Click here to register.
