What it looks like

An accelerator invests a set amount in a cohort of startups and supports them intensively for a few months.

Who it is for: early-stage founding teams with a company, often pre-seed or seed.

What you get: capital on standard terms, mentors, a peer cohort, investor introductions, perks, and usually a demo day.

How people get in: an application, interviews, and a selective cohort. Read the equity terms closely; they vary widely between programs.

The programs here name AI as a focus. Some cover other sectors too.
