ERA combines capital with an enterprise-grade support system. The $150K investment comes with no board seat, giving you clean governance. The cloud credits package ($250K Google, $250K Azure, $25K AWS) is one of the most generous in the accelerator ecosystem.

ERA targets teams of 2-4 full-time founders with a working product and early customers or revenue. The program leans toward enterprise and B2B tech but is not strictly limited to it.
