A program that provides mentorship and the capital necessary to accelerate the growth and success of young startups. Typically, the program will provide some capital and take an equity stake in the startup exchange. Accelerator programs usually last three to six months (instead of incubators, which have more extended periods). They help startups that are already performing, scale-up, and create the organizational framework they’ll need to thrive. Accelerators will bring a cohort of start-ups into what is typically an on-site program. At the end of the program, companies will ‘graduate’ from the accelerator program and present their company to potential investors at the respective accelerator’s Demo Day.
