Unique mentorship opportunity to refine and fast-track capabilities alongside industry leaders
MetLife, Inc. (NYSE:MET) announced that applications are now open for the second MetLife Digital Accelerator powered by Techstars. The MetLife Digital Accelerator identifies and mentors startups around the globe that are developing transformational capabilities and potentially industry-disrupting technologies in the insurance space.
Selected entrepreneurs will join a 13-week mentorship program and gain access to a network of MetLife and Techstars leaders and technologists. At the conclusion of the program, each founder will present their accomplishments to MetLife, potential investors, local entrepreneurs and the media during “Demo Day.”

Our goal is to have first-mover advantage on capabilities that are strategically important both to MetLife and its customers.”
MetLife’s first Digital Accelerator in partnership with Techstars concluded in October of last year, and MetLife is now pursuing pilots with nine of the 10 companies, with five tests already in flight.
“The MetLife Digital Accelerator powered by Techstars provides entrepreneurs access to MetLife’s 150 years of deep experience in a highly complicated and regulated industry, and it provides access to 10,000 Techstars mentors who have built and scaled successful businesses,” said Andrew Bate, Co-founder & CEO of Safely and a 2018 Digital Accelerator participant. “I’d highly recommend it for any startup considering an accelerator program.”
