Accelerator

An accelerator is an intensive program for startups that have already been created and want to accelerate their growth in a short time (generally 3 to 6 months). Unlike an incubator, an accelerator operates for a limited time and focuses on product validation, customer acquisition, and fundraising. Startups participate in training and mentoring sessions, while often receiving an initial investment in exchange for shares in the business. The objective is to prepare the startup to raise funds from Venture Capitalists or to quickly reach a phase of accelerated growth.
