Accelerator
Definition
A fixed-term programme that supports early startups with mentoring, funding, and connections, usually in exchange for equity.
Why it matters
A good accelerator can speed up your growth and open doors to investors, but it does take a slice of your business.
Example
A founder joins a three-month accelerator that gives £50k for a small equity stake.
