A new nationwide accelerator is launching, and it’s looking to mentor startups outside of Silicon Valley.

Matt Hanson, principal at D.C.’s Blu Venture Investors, launched the PAX Momentum Accelerator earlier this year as he sought to widen his impact in the startup world.

“I’ve been very active in angel investing for the last 10 to 15 years and I’ve been fortunate that I’ve had several outstanding companies that I was the lead investor on,” he said. “I wanted to take what I’m doing to the next level.”
