Please join us on May 16th at the First Round Capital offices as the FastFWD Public Safety Innovation Accelerator presents its inaugural cohort and their proposals to tackle the $152bn public safety market.
About the Entrepreneurs
The first cohort of FastFWD Fellows has drawn award winning innovators from around the world to work together to apply new technologies to old problems. We've been working together for months to design strategies to commercialize their innovations and deliver them at scale. We are counting on the region's funding community to encourage these entrepreneurs to stay and launch new markets right here in Philadelphia.
Through the FastFWD program, the City's leadership has embraced a new approach to civic innovation on the premise that if we attract and develop great early stage companies, the investors will support their growth. We hope you'll join us to create the future of early-stage investing.
