Ten companies – handpicked from locales across the globe – are gathered in Cary for the first Triangle iteration of the MetLife Digital Accelerator.
From Washington, D.C., to Singapore and London, they were selected from “hundreds” of applications, says John Geyer, senior vice president with MetLife’s innovation office. However, none were selected from the Triangle.
In an interview from his home base of New York, Geyer talks through the selection process and how the firm (which is partnering with Techstars on the initiative) hopes the accelerator will add to the Triangle startup cluster anyway
