Founded in 2010, BoomStartup established itself as the top accelerator in Utah and is consistently recognized as a nationally-ranked accelerator.

At BoomStartup we help great startups find an optimal business model, create a minimal viable product that is revenue-ready, execute into revenue generation, and make connections to customers and investors.

Founded in 2010, as a founding member of the Global Accelerator Network (GAN), BoomStartup has shepherded over 170 companies through the rigors of launching a company, helping over 70% of them get funded at levels from $500K – $1.5 million. In total, program graduates have raised more than $48 million in seed capital.

BoomStartup operates as a technology-driven accelerator, providing entrepreneurs access to education, business plan guidance, mentor connections & insight, and trusted service providers through a user-friendly, cloud-based interface. These capabilities have been bolstered following the acquisition by Assure as our portfolio companies will now have access to the solutions, resources and connections of Assure’s industry-leading private markets platform.

Lean Startup methodology is the heart of our program. Through this approach, startups quickly learn what works and discard what doesn’t. We know from years of experience that this methodology helps startups build a minimum viable product (MVP) with maximum acceleration and less waste.

We believe that the mentorship-driven approach is a better way to start companies. The approach is based on a proven model that leverages mindshare across mentors and increases the chance of startups raising funds. It’s also a better way to invest in early-stage companies – reducing the risk profile and increasing the probability of company performance and exit.
