Cleveland startup <remesh to join first New York Barclays Accelerator class

CLEVELAND, July 15, 2015 — <remesh, a Cleveland-based startup that utilizes collective intelligence to streamline group conversation, today announced they are joining the inaugural class of NYC based Barclays Accelerator powered by Techstars.

<remesh will join ten other startups from around the world for a 13-week program designed for startups in the financial technology space. The accelerator provides participating startups with a variety of resources including an investment of up to $120,000, support from world-class mentors and admission into the Barclays and Techstars alumni networks. 

Shortly after its founding in 2014, <remesh successfully completed an accelerator and secured initial funding through Cleveland-based Flashstarts. The co-founders of <remesh are looking forward to working with the Barclays team in developing an enterprise product and delivering it to the customers who need it most.

“The Barclays Accelerator will allow us to take critical next steps to grow our business,” said Andrew Konya, CEO and co-founder of <remesh. “With this opportunity, we can take the technology we have lovingly developed in Cleveland and deliver it to key customers in the heart of NYC.”

“Our company will be exposed to many new and exciting possibilities thanks to The Barclays Accelerator,” said Aaron Slodov, COO and co-founder of <remesh. “With the added help of Techstars, we will forge a new path forward as a FinTech startup.”

The <remesh product development team will be relocating to the Barclays Accelerator’s new custom-built premises in the heart of Manhattan for the duration of the program. The accelerator program starts July 15 and concludes in mid-October with both a private and public pitch day.
