The FIRE Accelerator is the flagship entrepreneurship program for the Erie Regional Chamber and Growth Partnership (ERCGP). Now in its fourth year, the program recently came under the umbrella of the chamber to be the catalyst for the organization's growing role in developing the regional ecosystem to drive innovation within legacy industries and attract leading startups and creative companies to establish or grow their roots on the shores of Lake Erie.

FIRE Accelerator is integral to business retention and expansion -- a primary economic development driver. By operating within the chamber, cohort participants have access to over 600 business and community leaders and mentors as well as over 40 economic development agencies operating at the state and local levels. 

Now entering its fourth year portfolio companies and program graduates have continued to experience tremendous success and gone on to participate in YCombinator and TechStars. Program graduates have raised an additional $28M, have grown their companies to reach revenues over $19M annually, and have secured customer engagements and investment with local industry leaders including Fortune 500 companies, education institutions, top regional manufacturers, and investment organizations. 

The FIRE Accelerator Demo day is the program's graduation showcase. Join us for a networking event and hear from the 6 companies that will be graduating from the 2021 cohort!
