Our Alumni

“I joined Accelerator with just an idea with a friend…we engaged with the curriculum and as part of that we did customer validation. We spoke with over one thousand dog owners in different communities…That really helped us move forward in the right direction.” 

Rashi Arora – CEO of CuddlyTails 

“CUNY Startups Accelerator in a way changed our lives because we met amazing people along the way. We have two amazing advisors. Saying they helped us a lot is an understatement and we didn’t stop talking after the program was over. We’re still in touch with Remy and we have a great Alumni network. It’s good to stay in touch and see the progress of other teams.” 

– Shaina Raklyar – CEO & Co-Founder of Next Generation Quantum
