Every startup trying to get off the ground could use some help. Whether you are just getting established or are looking to scale, learning from a team of successful founders can make all the difference. One of the best ways to give yourself the edge is by joining an accelerator.
The Basics
An accelerator is a program that a startup’s founding team uses to transform their idea into a viable product. As with all formal programs, there’s an application process with deadlines. The programs are typically 3 months long, and run anywhere from 2 to 4 times a year. Most of the programs run in only one city, but some run in more. While there are accelerator programs across the United States, you’ll find more of them situated in places that have a heavy concentration of startups, including Silicon Valley, New York, Boulder, Boston, Austin, and Chicago.
