The majority of startups in our program secure pilots or proof-of-concepts with Comcast, while some even land long-term enterprise deals. What does that mean for your startup? A real chance at a partnership with an innovative Fortune 50 company.
Choosing the right accelerator is a critical decision that can shape the trajectory of your business. The most pressing questions often revolve around real impact: Is the program worth my time and effort? Do I need to give up equity to join?
Many who have chosen the LIFT Labs Accelerator have found incredible success (and giving up equity was not required.) Reality Defender joined LIFT Labs in 2023. They secured a pilot, refined their enterprise strategy, and soon after, raised a $33M Series A to combat AI-generated fraud and added Comcast to their cap table. Meanwhile, Monterey AI was acquired by Reforge soon after completing the program, and Coactive was named to the Forbes Next Billion-Dollar Startups list. Will your startup be next?
Here’s what you can expect when you join LIFT Labs—and why this accelerator is a game-changer for startups looking to partner with Comcast and accelerate enterprise adoption.
1. Direct Access to Decision-Makers
One of the biggest barriers to enterprise partnerships is getting in front of the right people. LIFT Labs eliminates that hurdle by giving founders direct access to executives and key decision-makers across Comcast—including Xfinity, NBC, Universal Pictures, Universal Destinations and Experiences, Sky, and more.
With the inside track to enterprise collaboration, startups get the opportunity to:
- Build relationships with senior leaders and corporate decision-makers.
- Get direct feedback from the teams that could become their future customers.
- Accelerate the sales cycle and move toward real business outcomes.
“The accelerator gave us a structured way to showcase our capabilities and learn how we could fit into Comcast’s vision.”
— Alexandre Robicquet, CEO and Co-Founder, Crossing Minds
2. An Accelerated Path to Enterprise Partnerships
The LIFT Labs Enterprise Accelerator isn’t just about networking—it’s designed to streamline partnerships, proofs of concept, and pilots between startups and Comcast’s business units through hands-on support with their teams. LIFT Labs also will assist founders with navigating the steps to completing a deal with enterprises and facilitating engagements with the right business leaders in procurement, legal, contracts, privacy, security – reducing the time-to-partnership, helping startups gain real business traction.
3. Strategic, Expert-Driven Programming
Instead of the traditional pitch-heavy model, the LIFT Labs program delivers practical, high-value insights that help startups refine their go-to-market strategies and successfully navigate enterprise sales. Founders receive tailored guidance on enterprise business development, pricing strategies, and commercialization tactics.
“Other accelerators we’ve done are very much about how we present ourselves outwardly. This program helped us focus on what truly matters at our stage—building relationships and driving business growth.”— Guy Gadney, Co-Founder, Charisma.AI
4. Ongoing Support Beyond the Program
The LIFT Labs Enterprise Accelerator isn’t a one-and-done program. Support continues long after the accelerator ends—helping startups maintain momentum, convert pilots into lasting partnerships, and scale strategically.
“LIFT Labs has been nothing short of amazing in helping us navigate the complexities of the organization while somehow squeezing in lots of fun networking events with the rest of the cohort companies. Best of all? We were told this is just the beginning of being part of the LIFT Labs family.”— Andrei Papancea, CEO and Chief Product Office, NLX
