Accelerated
Accelerated is a weekly newsletter for students interested in technology and VC. We feature the news you need to know, jobs and internship opportunities, interviews with young founders and investors, and new apps to try out.
Accelerated is produced by Justine and Olivia Moore, recent Stanford grads ('16!) and investors at venture capital firm CRV. You can reach them at twins@crv.com.
Join our Facebook page for extra jobs and internships, and check out our scout application if you're interested in helping us identify trends on your campus!
