=== Existing programs are not accessible or affordable === ==== Equity Accelerators ==== Equity accelerators are the most popular. They connect entrepreneurs with the advisors, frameworks, and capital they need, and they have strong success rates. The problem is that they accept less than 4% (less than 2% for the popular ones), which leaves the 96% of rejected entrepreneurs without the support they need. In addition, the amount of equity they take (7%–10%) in the member startups is often seen as too high and not worth the results delivered by the program. ==== Paid Accelerators ==== Paid accelerators exist as well. They allow entrepreneurs to keep their equity, but often come with a price tag between $6,000–$20,000. This is simply not affordable for most early-stage founders. Furthermore, these programs end in 3–5 months—leaving the entrepreneurs back to fend for themselves. ==== Non-profit/Charity Accelerators ==== Non-profit and charity accelerators can be a great option for entrepreneurs to learn the basics and make connections in the early stages, but these usually end in 3–5 months and rely on volunteer mentors to deliver the support. This results in mixed-success outcomes for entrepreneurs who participate.
