About
Entrepreneurs Roundtable Accelerator (ERA) was founded in 2011 and has established itself as a leading early-stage venture capital accelerator based in New York City, specializing in technology startups. The organization operates a structured 4-month accelerator program that provides seed funding, mentorship from a network of over 500 advisors, and access to a corporate partner ecosystem designed to accelerate company growth. ERA's investment thesis focuses on post-product startups operating in enterprise and consumer technology sectors, targeting companies that have achieved product-market validation and are ready to scale. The firm has built a substantial portfolio, having invested in 327 companies as of March 2025, with alumni spanning global markets. ERA manages multiple venture funds including early-stage vehicles such as ERA Investors Fund 8 (2023 vintage) and the Remarkable Ventures Fund, positioning itself as both an operational accelerator and venture capital firm. Participating founders receive direct capital deployment alongside structured mentorship, operational support, and introductions to ERA's extensive network of investors and business experts. The accelerator model emphasizes hands-on program management and portfolio support, with team members working directly across program operations, company development, and event execution. ERA's dual positioning as an accelerator and fund manager allows the organization to maintain long-term engagement with portfolio companies while continually sourcing and supporting new cohorts of early-stage technology ventures.
