Chevy Chase investment management firm Mauloa is taking applications for small and midsized companies to join its new accelerator program, our colleagues at the Washington Business Journal report. The firm is accepting proposals for its SMB Accelerator through Aug. 8 and will take three companies within 100 miles of D.C. that have more than $20 million in annual revenue and $3 million in cash flow. The program will run from September to December and will culminate in an investment of up to $20 million, which could go to one or multiple firms. The accelerator is cost-free for participants and has the support of some major local companies, including Sparks-based financial firm SC&H.
