Incubator or accelerator
An incubator is a program that supports entrepreneurs and startups that work with establishing a business. Incubators contribute with resources, mentorship, networking opportunities, activities and sometimes funding to help you on the way from idea to market. The services they offer differ from incubator to incubator.
While an accelerator and an incubator have several similarities, an accelerator often has fixed programs with a duration of typically 3-4 months. As the name suggests, the purpose of an accelerator is to help companies accelerate.
For companies where the entrepreneurial team is complete and has come a long way with both company building, product development and customer engagement, an accelerator can be relevant. Note that the programs are often limited to specific industries or domains.
