Here’s the first class of Acceleprise companies who will shake up enterprise tech


Here’s the first class of Acceleprise companies who will shake up enterprise tech

As we told you last month, only one company would make it to the first Acceleprise enterprise accelerator by way of a challenge, and that company was picked.

Here’s the entire first class for Acceleprise though, which includes the winner of the challenge, Mercury Continuity.

Even if you’re not interested in the enterprise side of technology, you can clearly see that these companies have a real chance to disrupt legacy systems and verticals. Some of the mentors that are signed on to coach this class are Eric Ries, who wrote The Lean Startup and Scott Case, CEO of Startup America.

Meet the first class:
