Do acceleration programs work for development start ups?

Randall Kempner

 

If you are a in a development or humanitarian start up, you know that growing and scaling your idea is one of the most important – and difficult –  challenges to overcome. Take a moment to check out the research on accelerator programs from the Aspen Network of Development Entrepreneurs. As they state:

“The Global Accelerator Learning Initiative (GALI), a collaboration between ANDE and Emory University, is designed to explore – and answer – key questions about enterprise acceleration including: Do acceleration programs contribute to revenue growth? Do they help companies attract investment? Do they work as well for developing-world impact entrepreneurs as they do for developed-world tech entrepreneurs?”

You can learn more about GALI here.

You can also hear Randall Kemper, a guest on the TOR podcast (TOR121), explain the initiative here.
