What is Business Acceleration?

The terms “business incubator” and “business accelerator” are often used interchangeably. We view“incubation” and “acceleration” as two distinct approaches with unique objectives for the business.  Business acceleration assists companies grow current business and diversify into new markets/products/services and increase profits in a sustainable manner.  Speed and intensity are requirements for business acceleration.

Business
Incubator

We recognize business incubation as the act of placing a new business in conditions favorable for early growth and development.  Although the incubator model is suitable for a large variety of companies, over the recent decade high-tech startups have constituted a large part of incubator portfolios.

Business
Accelerator

Business acceleration assists companies grow current business and diversify into new markets/products/services.  Business acceleration addresses all organizational, operational and strategic challenges that impede growth, expansion and success.  Speed and intensity are requirements for business acceleration.

Business Accelerator

Business acceleration addresses all organizational, operational and strategic challenges that impede growth, expansion and success. Speed and intensity are requirements for business acceleration. Business acceleration is an integrated program that supports business expansion or redefinition by growing sales and increasing profits in a sustainable manner.  We define business acceleration candidates as “second stage” companies that have the desire and potential to grow, recognizing their need for support and resources to accomplish their goal.
