FAQs

What is an accelerator program, and how does it differ from an incubator or other startup support programs?

An accelerator program is a short-term, intensive program focused on rapidly scaling early-stage startups. Unlike incubators, which provide long-term support, accelerators offer a fixed-term curriculum, mentorship, and access to networks to achieve rapid growth.

What criteria do you look for in applicants?

We seek innovative startups with scalable business models, strong founding teams, and clear value propositions. We prioritize startups demonstrating market traction, viable products, and potential for significant growth.

What stage of startups do you accept into your accelerator program?

Our program is tailored for early-stage startups, typically at the pre-seed or seed stage. We welcome startups with innovative ideas, prototypes, or launched products seeking support to scale and grow.

What benefits do startups receive from participating in your accelerator program?

Startups receive mentorship from experienced entrepreneurs, tailored workshops, networking opportunities with investors and partners, access to funding opportunities, and ongoing support to accelerate their growth.

How much equity do startups typically need to give up in exchange for participation in our accelerator program?

We do not take equity or charge any fees for participation in our accelerator program. It's completely equity-free and cost-free for accepted startups. We're specifically looking for impact-minded startups that are committed to making a difference in the world.

What is the duration and structure of your accelerator program?

Our program typically runs for 6-8 weeks with an in-person structured startup bootcamp curriculum including workshops, mentorship, networking events, and opportunities for pitching that lasts between 2-5 days. Ongoing support is provided post-program.

Do you provide funding or investment as part of your accelerator program?

No, we do not provide funding as part of our accelerator program. However, we offer invaluable resources, mentorship, and networking opportunities to support the growth of your startup.

What happens after the accelerator program ends?

Startups continue to receive ongoing support including access to alumni networks, introductions to investors and partners, continued mentorship, and access to additional funding opportunities to sustain growth.
