Congregate Solutions Accelerator Information

Congregate is a challenge-based accelerator designed to scale up technology companies by addressing specific problems in the travel, hospitality and tourism sectors. The program aims to bring together tourism companies with startups to execute a pilot project related to the challenges and needs of the industry. While most accelerators focus on helping companies find product-market fit, the Congregate model identifies the industry needs from relevant stakeholders, and connects them to potential customers for pilot projects. Participating startups are given the opportunity to match with partner customers for potential pilot projects in the travel, performing arts, hospitality, & tourism (TPATH) sectors. Our network of industry partners includes companies like the Seattle Seahawks, MOHAI, Argosy Cruises, local destination marketing organizations, theater venues, hotels and everything in between.
