Accelerators are one of the best ways to launch a company or simply boost its growth, but all accelerators are not created equal.
I’ve had the privilege of participating in two accelerators, each in different states with different ecosystems. There has been a flood of new accelerators pop up, and choosing the right accelerator for your business can be a make or break decision. If you boil it down, founders should look for three things in an accelerator: strategic program offerings, founder-friendly terms and a vertically supportive ecosystem, meaning the individuals, organizations and institutions that cultivate entrepreneurs, ultimately increasing their chance of success.
