Los Angeles-based venture firm Backstage Capital announced today the companies it selected for its three-month, multi-city accelerator program aimed at underserved founders.

In the Philly iteration of the program, six companies will spend three months receiving mentorship and connections to other investors, and Backstage will invest between $25,000 and $100,000 in capital into the startups. In addition to Philadelphia, the program will also take place in London, Los Angeles and Detroit.

Our crew could not be more excited to support the founders as they grow.”
