Ryan Kushner

I'm The Accelerator Guy. I create, study and evaluate programs all over the world for entrepreneurs, investors and governments. Why? Solving vexing global issues is my passion, and accelerators/incubators/prizes are my trimtab for creating a more just, equitable and thriving planet.

I am the author of "Accelerate This! A Super Not Boring Guide To Startup Accelerators And Clean Energy Entrepreneurship”, sponsored by The World Bank, Asian Development Bank, World Wildlife Fund and the California Clean Energy Funs, and features Y Combinator, Techstars, 500 Startups and others fascinating programs from all around Spaceship Earth.
