ViewSonic, which is based in Brea, California, will team up with Hustle Fund, a venture capital firm with operations in the United States and Singapore, to launch the Acceleration for All Awards, giving entrepreneurs a jump start on their business ideas.
In a release Oct. 6, Hustle Fund Co-Founder and General Partner Eric Bahn said the collaboration will bring opportunities for entrepreneurs and startups to learn and grow together.
“Starting a company can be incredibly lonely and challenging, but everyone who has built something great all started the same way - by just starting,” Bahn said in the release.
“At Hustle Fund, we appreciate the courage of founders and have made it a goal to unblock their talent with capital," he continued. "We are excited to work with ViewSonic on The Affies as we share a similar mission to propel great founders with technology.”
Aside from networking abilities, contributors will have access to ViewSonic products and funding, the release stated.
According to the release, the Acceleration for All Awards will feature early-stage and mature startups from various industries to help promote investors and fund winning participants.
