Introducing Our Y10 Cohort! 🎉

News

What an incredible night! Last evening at Shea’s Performing Arts Center, five groundbreaking startups joined 43North’s portfolio, securing $1M each and a spot in our year 10 accelerator program. These companies will soon be relocating to Buffalo’s iconic Seneca One tower to scale their businesses and contribute to our thriving entrepreneurial ecosystem.
