SAN FRANCISCO, March 07, 2017 -- Keiretsu Forum and Keiretsu Squared announced today they are accepting applications for the first, three-month K2 Velocity Program, that will begin in Spring, 2017.
The Program is open, upon application and acceptance, to any company with high growth potential. It is open to companies worldwide through its virtual format.
Keiretsu Squared is a premiere business accelerator designed to radically accelerate the path to market growth and liquidity of high growth potential companies in all industries. It is distinct from other accelerators both because its experts work “hands-on” with Participants and because it deploys the collective intelligence and power of The Keiretsu Forum network to open doors for Participants.
Keiretsu Squared’s Lead Accelerator and author of Keiretsu Forum’s Due Diligence Process Handbook, Michael Gralnick, shared the objective of the K2 Velocity Program at the recent, bi-annual Keiretsu Forum Angel Capital Expo. “We are here to manage for risk and actively protect the interest of investors, as well as executives. This is about turning passive investing into active investing without having to invest your own time,” he said.
“Keiretsu Forum members and non-member investors alike will benefit from our entire team’s absolute commitment to deliver extraordinary value and to use our best efforts to maximize the potential ROI of our investments,” he added.
