SAN DIEGO (March 28, 2017) – The Raken App was recently chosen to participate in Facebook’s Start Accelerate program. The Facebook Start Accelerate Track is for startups that are thriving but are now looking to scale.

Program participants, if selected, get an opportunity to work closely with Facebook product managers and engineers, receiving “hands-on” guidance on how to best incorporate Facebook existing and upcoming products into their application offering.

“It was energizing to attend F8 Conference and represent the Raken App team members at the Facebook Start program,” said Dr. Sergey Sundukovskiy, Ph.D., cofounder and chief technology officer/chief product officer for Raken. “Raken’s acceptance into Facebook Start Accelerate Track is a recognition of our exemplary record of achievement to date as well as a promise of an accelerated growth in the future. We were able to connect with developers and engineers who see the same challenges as we do every day. Working with the Facebook developers gave us some valuable tools and insight into our path ahead as we continue to grow.”
