    What past participants have said
    Sally Ng
    CEO & Founder
    The Triple Effect Inc.
    "500 is the first big accelerator to really open its doors and share best practices in such an in-depth manner, it really shows how much they care about the community. It was incredible to hear first hand from the partners and staff on how they run the organization."
    Petrina Seah
    Co-Founder, COO
    German Entrepreneurship Asia
    "What was truly fabulous was the generosity of sharing of 500's learnings and experience in building one of the world's leading accelerators. Thank you 500 for a super week of talks, exercises and workshops."
    Sergio Pengel
    Founder
    PIEDATA
    "As a Caribbean Accelerator, I could not imagine a better program to learn from. What I appreciated the most is the transparency, depth of insight, and their collaboration with other acceleration verticals which exposed us to other programs outside of 500."
    What to expect
    Since 2010, 500 Global has run more than 27 programs through our HQ in San Francisco. Our goal is to share that knowledge, empowering the next generation of accelerator managers with the confidence they need to run better programs.
