FAQ
Accelerator basics
- What is a startup accelerator?
- A startup accelerator is a fixed-length program, usually three to six months, that invests a small amount of money in a cohort of early-stage startups in exchange for equity, then gives them mentorship, investor access and a Demo Day. Unlike incubators, accelerators run in batches with a set start and end date.
- How much equity do accelerators take?
- Most investing accelerators take between 5% and 10%. Y Combinator takes 7% for $125K plus a $375K uncapped SAFE, and Techstars takes 5% for $20K plus a $200K SAFE. Some programs, often run by governments, universities or corporates, take no equity at all.
- How do I choose the right accelerator?
- Compare the deal (cash and equity), the strength of the network in your sector, where the program runs and whether you can relocate, the program's track record with companies like yours, and when the next cohort starts. A specialist program with the right customers and investors can be worth more than a bigger generalist check.
