About Citi Accelerator, Haim Haviv, Head of Citi Accelerator 

Citi Accelerator is a free, non-equity, program designed for fintech, data analytics, AI, cybersecurity, and enterprise startups. The program is focused on advanced stage companies that have a working product and preferably multiple clients. The companies participating in the program receive the opportunity to gain access to Citi worldwide and its network, and are mentored by key decision makers at the bank worldwide. The goal of the mentorship is to understand how to best tailor a product to a large financial organization’s needs, as well as to define and access relevant clients. This engagement may potentially result in a POC/commercialization with Citi and its network.
