Entrepreneurs Round Table Reviews

Fixated on one model fits all. Zero flexibility. There are at least 15 superior incubators on the east coast alone with skilled mentors who care about your success more than their own egos. Try The Science Center or Dreamit. In talking with past ERA participants the feedback was very consistent. ERA pushes their favorite drinking buddies. Not a culture you want to be a part of. Go with Y Combinator, 500 startups, Mass challenge, Tech Stars, Plug And Play, Coplex. They will help you based on your hard work and merit and they have incredible success stories - not a wall of the unknowns. The ERA and its old boys club should not exist. If the ERA was the only incubator on the planet, I would still avoid it at all cost!

A waste of time to fill out their long application and then no response. Thanks Emily, that's very professional behavior.

ERA is a valuable part of the New York startup community. My company was a participant in the accelerator, and the insights/guidance we received were an enormous contributor to our success. I highly recommend this program for all early-stage technology startups.

Amazing accelerator with great network and friendly staff

My company joined ERA in 2017 and we experienced intense growth, during the accelerator period and after we graduated. We have and continued to raise money, hire people and find customers through their network. They have a very engaged network of 500 "mentors" who go out of their way to meet with you and give you valuable advice that you won't find on your own. I highly recommend for the sake of your start up.

Entrepreneurs Roundtable Accelerator has been pivotal in powering NYC's ascent to one of the world's leading cities for start-ups. As the largest and most influential locally based accelerator, ERA has guided nearly 200 US companies through their early stages with its impressive mentor and investor network, leading to many billions in valuation. ERA also has international programs that where the most promising overseas startups come to NYC for intensive guidance on how to grow their business both at home and in the US.

BuzzTable was in the first ERA cohort. We learned a lot, we made a lot of friends, and we had a big win under our belt because of ERA. After our exit, I took a little time off to recharge my batteries and then I started consulting and rented a desk at the ERA space just to be around the excitement and the activity that the startups bring. I m still with ERA as a lead mentor and Entrepreneur in Residence and I could t be happier.

We went through the ERA accelerator 5 years ago and still have close relationships with the team. The network is awesome and the team there is always available to help. We had a lot of ups and downs and and a big pivot and they were helpful every step of the way.

This is a horrible organization to get involved with. Our company became involved with these business experts a little while back and it was the worst single decision that I ve ever made as an entrepreneur.

The people at ERA pick which of the companies they d like to see succeed, usually their pals and drinking buddies , and they then give tons of feed back to investors that is often inaccurate and untrue.

They will steer an investor towards a company where the founder is their friend and defame or slander companies where this is not the case.

This is a horrible organization to get involved with. If you re an enterprise company, they simply can t help you and they have no meaningful industry connections.

We were part of the second ever cohort of ERA, and I strongly recommend their program for early stage companies. The content, peer group, mentorship, and demo day were valuable during the official program, and even more valuable during the months and years that followed after.

So thankful for our experience at ERA - super helpful way to learn about how to navigate the VC world, which we knew nothing about when starting our company. It's a great, supportive community and in particular the partners have been invaluable at helping us every step of the way through the growing pains of building a business.

These guys rock! We went through their program over 3 years ago and they still remain very involved in helping us get to the next level. I can confidently say we would not have made it without their help and connections to folks within their network.

ERA treats their portfolio companies like family. I've never seen a team open their doors to entrepreneurs and see past week-to-week setbacks... They never "write off" their founders. I recommend them to all the switched-on teams I meet

ERA is a staple of the New York tech community and a fantastic experience. It s one of the most hands on accelerators. The team top notch and committed to helping their portfolio companies succeed.

Currently in AlleyNYC a pretty hip coworking space.
