About accelerators
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.
Questions people ask
How much equity do accelerators take?
It varies. Many take between 5 and 10 percent in exchange for a fixed investment. The confirmed terms are on each program page.
Is an accelerator the same as an incubator?
No. Accelerators run fixed cohorts with investment and a demo day. Incubators are usually longer, looser, and often do not invest.
