The main difference between an incubator and an accelerator seems to be the time a company spends in the program [http://www.forbes.com/sites/georgedeeb/2014/08/28/is-a-startup-incubator-or-accelerator-right-for-you/#68d6f6793386].

Criteria for being an Accelerator
- Look at summary below for a simpler perspective
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
