Oracle Startup Cloud Accelerator

In the global marketplace, one size does not fit all. That is especially true for today’s vibrant, diverse and competitive startup ecosystem. Oracle Startup Cloud Accelerator is not your traditional accelerator program. It’s a nextgeneration acceleration initiative, with a focus on reimagining enterprise innovation through true partnerships with startups that foster co-development and co-innovation where we all win. It is about driving business ingenuity for all—across startups, our business, and our customers—while pushing the boundaries of innovation and helping to drive our global economy. What Makes Oracle Different • We don’t take equity • Run by our global R&D team • Free Oracle Cloud, with the enterprise expertise and global resources to match • Engagement opportunities with Oracle’s 400,000+ customers – a path to grow your business Startup Ingenuity. Enterprise Expertise. Global Resources. We believe that startups are at the heart of innovation. Since 1977—when we were a startup—and continuing today, Oracle has partnered with startups and understands the journey that transforms an idea into an enterprise. Oracle Startup Cloud Accelerator takes this idea to a global scale to develop an ecosystem that fosters innovation and supports entrepreneurship journeys. Startup values run deep in our program’s DNA. The program is led by three-time global entrepreneur and Oracle SVP Reggie Bradford, a seasoned executive with deep startup roots. Oracle GVP Sanket Atal, who launched the inaugural program in India, and oversees global operations, is well entrenched with the global ecosystem. And our teams around the world share the passion and mentality of the startup spirit and culture.

Our inaugural program launched April 2016 in Bangalore, India. In 2017, Oracle is expanding the program globally, a multi-million dollar investment for startups worldwide.
