The 2018/2019 MetaProp Accelerator at Columbia University applications are closing in two days. Our team is busy reviewing applications, interviewing startup foundersand sending out offers to selected companies. It is a very exciting time in the office but an even more exhausting and nerve-wracking time for founders.
