Accelerators and incubators are essential for helping new startups take flight.
New entrepreneurs looking to transform their great business idea into a successful and sustainable business sometimes don’t have the experience or connections to make that happen on their own.
The staff of an accelerator or incubator can help by providing support, space, mentorship, connections and more.
