MassChallenge offers the following services as part of Bridge to MassChallenge:

• Startup Boot Camps: MassChallenge runs - or helps partners run - a competition to source and grow your highest-impact startups. Selected startups participate in an intensive week of specialized workshops, trainings, and mentoring sessions with top industry experts from around the world.
• Innovation Ecosystem Tours: MassChallenge organizes and hosts tailored tours of a MassChallenge location and/or other relevant industry sites for innovation leaders. Participating leaders receive exposure to the MassChallenge market or site visit location, networking opportunities, and insights into how best to support local startups.
• Advisory Support: MassChallenge works with leaders to build integrated and evidence-based innovation ecosystem solutions. We leverage MassChallenge experience, the MassChallenge model, and our industry-leading methodology to help local accelerators, governments, corporates, or nonprofits design their startup acceleration program strategy.
• Ecosystem Building: MassChallenge also offers skill- or industry-specific trainings for local innovation and ecosystem leaders. MassChallenge will work with partners to identify the needs of those innovation leaders and tailor a workshop to fit those needs.
