FORBES – The startup accelerator remains one of tech’s most popular ways to get a business up and running. But which ones are the best for new startups? HAX, IndieBio, and Food-X  are some of the top accelerators out there.

FAST COMPANY – At URBAN-X, the one-of-a-kind MINI venture accelerator in Greenpoint, Brooklyn, eight startups are exploring clever solutions to traffic, air pollution, and other city troubles.

FAST COMPANY – The food industry is rapidly changing as consumers develop an appetite for bold new flavors, healthier and more eco-friendly options, and more control over how their food gets served, delivered, and made. These 10 companies, including SOSV, have hit on strategies that are serving up the biggest change in the industry.

BLOOMBERG – When Alex Chen and his brother Harrison wanted to get their ping pong-playing robot up and running, it wasn’t Silicon Valley they turned to for help. Instead it was HAX Accelerator in Shenzhen.

CRUNCHBASE – SOSV is the #1 Early Stage investor globally, and the #2 Seed Stage investor globally!

ABC 7 – From big robots to tiny medical devices, a new class of hardware makers is graduating from the HAX Accelerator program in San Francisco. The new graduates showed off their latest creations to potential investors this week. The devices ranged from exoskeletons to help with back injuries, to therapeutic lights for offices.

TECHCRUNCH – HAX, an accelerator for hardware and robotics startups, is holding its 9th Demo Day in San Francisco today. Startups pitching investors there span industries from education to agriculture and medicine.

Although innovation is spreading throughout China, Shenzhen had a head start. Speaking about connected hardware, Duncan Turner, managing director at HAX, says that the city is “always going to have an unfair advantage over anywhere else.”

Entrepreneur turned investor Sean O’ Sullivan thought it would be better to develop a venture firm that owned and ran its own accelerators. Today that firm, SOSV, has closed its third fund at $150 million to back startups that are admitted to and have graduated from one of its many programs.

There’s a fresh batch of startups that are looking to disrupt the cross-border ecommerce market.
