What is Accelerator?

An accelerator is a program that supports early-stage, growth-driven companies through education, mentorship, and financing. The goal of an accelerator is to expedite the growth of these startups within a fixed, typically short, period.

Accelerators offer startups a specific amount of capital in exchange for equity. They also provide mentoring, training sessions, networking opportunities, and often co-working spaces.
