Today we are excited to announce the selection of Motis for Washington Technology Industry Association's Fifth Founder Cohort Program. As one of 22 startups selected, Motis joins a rigorously selected group of Washington-based organizations primed for rapid growth.
Following a Proven Roadmap
The Fifth Founder Cohort Program helps startups grow and scale over the course of 6 months by following a roadmap that guides them through future milestones including increasing revenue, securing investment, and growing the team.
“Speed matters and navigating the ecosystem in six months vs 12-24 months is important when you have limited resources. Connecting to relevant people usually doesn’t happen organically. So, we’ve gathered the relevant resources and experts that founders need to connect to that community and support them,” says Dave Parker, WTIA Startup Program's Board Chair. "Launching a startup can be a lonely journey, but it doesn't have to be," he explains.
