Radio, print and online media gives Accelerator clients a boost into the mainstream

On Wednesday, Jan. 26, Will Rodman from 4e Productions and I had the opportunity to talk business on Van Ritshie’s morning show on WGNY in New Windsor, N.Y. 4e Productions, which joined the Accelerator this past fall, has made great strides in balancing entertainment with education and creating and developing original programs designed to address universal social issues.

With the gracious help of WGNY and other media outlets, the Accelerator has helped bring the success stories of clients like 4e Productions into the mainstream.

This week our clients will be the focus of a 4-page spread in HVBiz that tells their stories of entrepreneurship and how they plan to utilize the Accelerator to enhance their services and spur growth in their markets. Pick up a copy and read how Continental Organics and CymoGen Dx, among others, have made great advancements in their fields and are coming closer to graduating from the Accelerator and becoming another thriving, independent business right here in Orange County.

In the past, we’ve also been awarded great coverage from the Times Herald-Record, Mid-Hudson News and host of other local and regional media outlets that have seen the potential at the Accelerator and have been proactive in broadcasting its message.

With the help of the Orange County Industrial Development Agency and our marketing and advertising partners Focus Media, the Accelerator has become a hotbed of economic opportunity for early-stage startups and entrepreneurs looking to thrive in this challenging economy.

The Accelerator is now 64 weeks strong. Maybe one day you could be our next success story.
