500 Global Batch 28

500 Global Batch 28 was a 30-startup accelerator cohort run by 500 Global (formerly 500 Startups) in San Francisco, California. The program ran from March 2021 to July 2021. Each startup received $150,000 in exchange for 5% equity. By this time, 500 Global had invested in over 2,500 companies across more than 80 countries, making it one of the most geographically diverse venture capital firms. The four-month program provided startups with mentorship, office space, and access to 500 Global's extensive network of investors, founders, and corporate partners. The batch culminated in a Demo Day where startups pitched to a curated audience of investors.
