💡What’s the difference between incubators and accelerators?
Incubators are generally programs where entrepreneurs can find early-stage mentoring and resources to develop their business. They often include an opportunity for office or lab space, and typically have longer, more flexible timelines.
Accelerators are typically highly structured, intensive, cohort-based programs that last for a set time period — usually anywhere from four weeks to several months. Often involving a competitive application process, they may be virtual, hybrid or in-person, and often require a commitment to meet with the cohort on a regular basis.
