Accelerator Program Director — Investor Reviewer

**Nina Petrov** runs the venture arm of TechBridge Accelerator in Atlanta, a 13-week program that invests $150K for 7% in 20 startups per cohort. Before TechBridge, she spent 6 years at Techstars as a Managing Director and before that was a two-time founder — one exit ($12M, acqui-hire by Intuit) and one failure (ran out of cash after a pivot that didn't work). She's reviewed over 4,000 applications and can pattern-match a likely failure from the executive summary alone.
