This book summarizes five years of learning from a research project that covers scores of accelerator programs to determine what makes them work. The authors present data collected from accelerators operating around the globe - in both high-income countries and emerging markets. Blending survey data with insights from sector experts, their analyses shed light on the basic structure of accelerators, showing where they are having their most promising results. Unlike previous studies, this book does not focus on a few high-profile programs (like TechStars and Y Combinator) and startups (like AirBnB and Uber). Instead, it compares a range of accelerators that target specific impact areas, marginalized regions and sectors, and marginalized entrepreneurs. This provides a wider perspective to talk about female-versus-male entrepreneurs and high income-versus-emerging market program differences. This book will serve as a valuable tool for scholars, policymakers, and practitioners interested in the effectiveness of accelerator programs and how to make these programs better.
