Just two Silicon Valley startup accelerators — Alchemist Accelerator and Y Combinator — are better options than St. Louis-based Capital Innovators for aspiring startups hoping to raise venture capital.
That’s according to a study published by investment research firm CB Insights on Tuesday.
The ranking is sorted by the median amount of money raised by founders who go through its program. Alchemist Accelerator out of San Francisco came in at No. 1 on the list, with median post-program funding of $8.1 million. Y Combinator, long said to be the most successful accelerator program in the world, was No. 2 on the list, with median post-program funding of $4 million. At No. 3 was Capital Innovators, led by CEO Judy Sindecuse, with median post-program funding of $3.5 million.
