Let’s face it. We ALL have a great idea that we think could make money. Some of us have even taken the time to do research, perfect the idea, draft a business plan, get funding, and even make it market. What the majority of people who don’t follow through with their ideas attribute their lack of action to is the amount of time it takes to go from an idea to a minimal viable product (MVP).
As a result, MANY great ideas die from the hands of time. One of the sole purposes behind a startup accelerator program is to round up people with great ideas with those who have the means to support those ideas.
Most startup accelerators (or incubators) focus primarily around software/technology ideas and are willing to invest the time and the money to help people with dreams of being the next Microsoft, Apple, or Google or Facebook. The accelerator programs bring in speakers and mentors to encourage participants and serve as examples of what can be accomplished. They provide networking opportunities for the participants to possibly spread the word about your idea to the rest of the industry. Many well-known investors and venture capitalists frequent or even monetarily support startup accelerator programs in hopes to find and (finance) the next big thing.
