Whether your goal is to raise capital, bootstrap your idea or crowdfund your business, they can help you learn how to grow your startup. For example, their flagship accelerator lab program has worked with 33 companies over the last 5 years that have gone on to raise over $25 M in financing, that is a $350,000 average. How do you achieve those results as a founder? They believe that real customers validate your business model and help you prove your company's worth. If you have a solid team of founders, a minimum viable product, and a few customers using your product or service, you're likely ripe for acceleration. If you aren't quite ready to launch, they have a number of resources to help you pre accelerate your startup.
