Accelerators
Over the years many programmatic interventions have been introduced in the Startup ecosystem, whose core role is to serve as intermediaries between the start-ups and the complex landscape of resources in the ecosystem. On a broad level, these intermediaries support startups by linking them to the resources embedded in the local ecosystems like education, mentoring, networking, physical infrastructure, funds, beachhead market etc. The most popular examples of such programmatic intermediaries are startup challenges, venture studios, Startup showcasing, incubators and accelerators.
