Overview

Heavybit is a unique accelerator focused exclusively on helping developer-first startups and enterprise software companies achieve product-market fit and scale. Founded in 2013 by James Lindenbaum, a co-founder of Heroku, Heavybit has carved out a niche in supporting companies that create tools and platforms for developers. The program is tailored for startups that are in the post-seed stage and are ready to bring their developer-facing products to market.

Heavybit's 9-month program provides startups with access to a network of experienced mentors, industry experts, and successful founders who have built and scaled developer-focused companies. The program emphasizes go-to-market strategies, product development, and community building—crucial elements for startups in the developer tools space. Additionally, participants benefit from a vast range of resources, including in-depth workshops, a speaker series, and tailored advice on product positioning and sales strategies.

The Heavybit community extends beyond the accelerator program, offering ongoing support through its alumni network and access to a wide range of resources, including Heavybit’s extensive library of content on topics such as growth hacking, developer marketing, and enterprise sales.

For startups looking to build and scale developer-centric products, Heavybit offers an unparalleled platform for growth and success. More details on their program and application process can be found on the Heavybit website.
