Futureworks Incubator, which looks to accelerate and support hardware startups and advance manufacturing entrepreneurs in the New York City area, is accepting applications for its accelerator program through April 10.

The programs seeks to create a community of NYC startups, investors and manufacturers, while providing entrepreneurs with expert mentorship, workshops and showcase opportunities to take their startups to the next level. In addition, entrepreneurs receive direct access to manufacturers, investors, production credits and co-working space.

The program is free, and accepts startups across all stages. There are three distinct program tracks, depending on the stage of startup: the Idea Stage Cohort, the Market Validation Cohort and the Scaling and Manufacturing Cohort.

The Futureworks Incubator boasts an impressive team of mentors, including John Vaskis of Indiegogo, Zach Dunham of Kickstarter and Shana Dressler of the NYC Innovation Collective, among many more.

Programming begins May 17 and goes through the end of year. To apply, visit http://futureworks.nyc/incubator/.
