Criteria for being an Accelerator
The main difference between an incubator and an accelerator seems to be the time a company spends in the program [1]. That being said, the essential criteria that a program must have to be an accelerator are mentors, sessions, a time limit around 90 days to 4 months, and a graduation day. Possible attributes include a small capital investment (maybe $20,000), a cost of a single digit percent of equity, and preparation specifically for the investment stage. The last one is almost essential. 1 [2]
Summary:
Essentail Criteria
- 90 day to 4 month program limit with a graduation at the end
- Mentoring & Industry Connections
- Education Sessions
- Preparation for investment stage
Likely attributes:
- Charge of ~7% equity
- Small capital investment (~$20,000)
