Do Impact Accelerators Create Value for Entrepreneurs and Investors?

Zuleyma Bebell, Impact IQ


Join us as we look behind the curtain with leaders of Impact Accelerators to uncover the core assumptions behind the idea that Impact Accelerators increase the supply of investable companies to Impact Investors. Learn more about why we think accelerators can work, why they might not be delivering what investors want or entrepreneurs need, and why we have little data to back any of this up. This is a unique opportunity to see inside the accelerator process, as we explore the key value adds and the risks involved with participating. The Impact Accelerator Network is an effort that has been growing over the last two years to bring the accelerators together on the new shared platform F6S - a tool to boost the effectiveness of Impact Accelerators and provide the data we need to answer the question "Do Impact Accelerators Create Value for Entrepreneurs and Investors?".
