The ROI of Startup Accelerators
In past “Resources” episodes we shared our top prompts for startup sourcing, screening & due diligence, and deal winning & closing. In addition, we regularly cover the top 30 hottest startups across stealth, early, and growth of each month, and have also shared various lists with active family offices, pension funds, and angel investors.
Today, we continue our “lists” series with a focus on the earliest stages of company building and organizations supporting exactly here: Accelerators.
If you’re still questioning whether accelerators deserve any attention, check out our episode “The ROI of Startup Accelerators: Numbers Behind YC, Techstars, 500 Startups & More”.
In short, top-tier accelerators have fundamentally improved startup outcomes (or at least harnessed the best startups) in a lasting way. Survival rates are higher, follow-on fundraising is more likely, and notable exits have flowed steadily from programs like Y Combinator, Techstars, 500 Global, and others.
List of Accelerators You Should Know
New accelerators are popping up left and right while others are closing shop. It’s difficult to keep track, which is why we decided to merge all accelerator lists that we found online into one, complemented it with crowdsourced input from our community, and then enriched it with various sources of publicly available information.
