Accelerator

An accelerator is a program that helps startups grow faster by providing intensive support over a relatively short period, often between three and six months. This support includes mentoring, training, resources, and sometimes funding. The goal is to help startups refine their business model, accelerate their growth, and prepare to raise funds.

How does an accelerator work?

Startups that join an accelerator usually follow a structured program. They receive guidance from experienced mentors, advice on their product, marketing strategy, and expansion. In exchange, accelerators may ask for a small equity stake or fees depending on the program. At the end of the acceleration, there is often a "demo day" where startups present their projects to investors.

Concrete example

For example, a startup developing an online learning platform joins an accelerator. The startup receives advice on how to improve its product, attract its first customers, and prepare for fundraising. The program lasts three months, after which the startup is ready to raise funds and expand to a larger market.

Why join an accelerator?

An accelerator allows a startup to save time and accelerate its growth by receiving targeted advice and accessing a network of investors. It's also a way to avoid common mistakes and quickly validate its business model. For startups looking to raise funds or enter the market quickly, an accelerator can make all the difference.
