Accelerator

Definition

An accelerator is a fixed-term, cohort-based startup program that invests capital for equity and provides mentorship, structure, and investor access, typically ending in a demo day. Most programs run about three months and invest between $100K and $500K for 5 to 10 percent equity.

Wie es im Fundraising vorkommt

Founders join accelerators like Y Combinator or Techstars to compress early company-building and raise a round shortly after demo day.

Häufig gestellte Fragen

How is an accelerator different from an incubator?

Accelerators are fixed-term and invest money for equity; incubators are open-ended, focus on idea-stage support, and often take no equity.

How much equity do accelerators take?

Typically 5 to 10 percent. Y Combinator invests $500K on its standard deal, which includes 7 percent plus an uncapped MFN SAFE.
