Forty-three percent of the companies are coming from outside the United States, representing eight countries. Along with Canada, the other international founders came from England, Argentina, Italy, Hong Kong, Portugal, Spain, and Turkey.

500 Startups said nearly a quarter of the startups are led by female founders while 12 per cent identify as black or “Latinx” founders. According to the Internet, this latter term is “a gender neutral term often used in lieu of Latino or Latina that refers to individuals with cultural ties to Latin America and individuals with Latin American descent.”

In a blog post, 500 said the program continues to be focused on growth and fundraising. The program’s Marketing Hell Week returns along with weekly enterprise sales talks and intensive customer acquisition coaching.

“It’s week two and we are already feeling the speed at which 500 operates. I’ve seen other accelerators and the growth expertise here is unmatched,” said Ryan Stobie, CEO of Vancouver’s Adventure Bucket List.
