The Iron Yard

edit

The Iron Yard is a steam engine of creative people. You’ll find everyone from designers, hackers and teachers to makers, artists, and writers. We love building businesses and projects, and our fuel is the people who bring those things to life.

Here ‘accelerate’ means so much more than trendy technology and giant buy-outs. We’re interested in building strong, sustainable businesses that add value to customer’s lives.

Speaking the same language? We’d love for you to join us. Whether your goal is a Series A round, building a team and bootstrapping, or utilizing Kickstarter, we have a place for you.

What makes us different, you ask? It’s a secret sauce with two ingredients.

The first is our network of mentors. CEOs and investors are must-haves, but they’re not the only ingredients to success. We partner with specialists in marketing, design, community management, and other disciplines to offer truly well-rounded support.

The second is The Iron Yard community. Along with supportive alumni (in the same town), our program is located in a space that provides coworking for all sorts of professionals, intensive code education, and hosts nationally-known technology and design events. Did we mention that the best coffee shop on the east coast is in our office?
