Scholars and practitioners may find these highlights useful to trigger interest in reading the full article:
- Accelerator is a nascent yet fast growing global phenomenon; its role within the entrepreneurship ecosystem remains debated.
- Our grounded inductive study uses data from accelerator executives (supply) & accelerated ventures (demand).
- Our study calls for a shift in analysis from form (accelerator) to mechanism (acceleration).
- Acceleration focuses on: product-market fit ventures; time compressed scaling; aggressive scalability testing.
- Accelerators focus on scaling of new ventures vis-à-vis birthing and hence complement other support forms
If you are an incubator manager, an accelerator executive, entrepreneurship policymaker, entrepreneurial ecosystem participant, or anyone interested in entrepreneurship support forms and mechanisms, you will find the article of interest.
Happy Reading!
