GAN

A curated community of accelerators, partners and investors giving startups power to create and grow businesses, wherever they call home.

What is GAN? GAN is a highly-curated community of independent accelerators, startup studios, hubs, partners, and investors. We’re obsessed with helping startups all over the world succeed, which is why GAN’s mission is to give startups the power to create and grow their businesses, wherever they call home. Our community has helped more than 17,000 companies receive over $5.3B USD in funding and create more than 26,700 jobs globally.

GAN started in 2010 when Brad Feld and David Cohen—the two co-founders of Techstars—had the idea to connect the top mentorship-driven, seed-stage accelerators around the world. Alongside the White House’s Startup America Initiative, GAN was launched to align those accelerators and create a community and model for their success.

Today, GAN is an independently-operated organization with more than 120 of the world’s best accelerators in our community, running programs in 120+ cities all over the world. GAN Ventures is our investment arm, making seed-stage investments in startups across the globe. And, we have built three parallel communities—GAN Partners, a group of engaged corporate partners that are seeking to build meaningful relationships with GAN Startups everywhere; the Global Startup Studio Network (GSSN,) a growing community of more than 40 startup studios that spans four continents; and GAN Hubs, our newest community of entrepreneurial centers.
