+15 Years of Accelerator Dividends Whitepaper
What have we learned in the last fifteen years? A lot.
Read GAN’s whitepaper on how the accelerator model produces disruptive returns from startup companies worldwide.
Beyond cash returns, accelerators have proven to be powerful engines for open innovation in corporations, recruitment and retention systems of talent, due diligence for investors, builders of new capital sources, and much more.
We’re excited to present our findings in our latest whitepaper outlining how the accelerators help entrepreneurial communities, governments, cities, universities, and startup founders who create companies that solve some of the world’s most challenging problems.

The exits, returns, and companies built last. We’re excited to present our findings in our latest whitepaper outlining how the accelerators help entrepreneurial communities, governments, cities, universities, and startup founders who create companies that solve some of the world’s most challenging problems.
We believe this data is so critical. If founders are continually looking to accelerators for support in creating sustainable companies, we believe it’s vital to ensure that accelerators are, in fact, providing the absolute best support possible. Because those founders—real humans with families, friends, and jobs—are stretching themselves and those relationships in order to join the programs in our community. So every year, we take a look at exactly how startups that have graduated from GAN Accelerators are performing and then share the most important findings we discover with the world.
We have compiled a snapshot from the data provided by 130+ GAN Accelerators within our community. You can download the complete 2021 Infographic and learn more about the details of the report on the community-wide call that was held in April.
Accelerators support startups through short-term programs (generally between three to six months). During this time, a small cohort of companies is selected through a competitive application process in order to receive resources and capital, often in exchange for equity. Throughout an accelerator, startups also receive support in the form of dedicated mentorship, connection to customers and investors, and general business services (anything from legal, to financial, to technical, to branding advice).
