Nicole DeTommaso identifies several startup accelerators that signal high potential to investors. According to DeTommaso, participation in programs such as Y Combinator, South Park Commons, a16z speedrun, HF0, Neo, Pear VC (PearX), and Boost VC can make it easier for founders to connect with venture capitalists and secure funding.
She adds that the list of accelerators most valued by investors can change year over year based on the quality of participants.
DeTommaso has previously detailed routes to starting a VC fund, focusing on interim investment vehicles in her recent newsletter. In another case, she noted that 60 percent of Corgi’s earliest hires got company tattoos after the company raised $374 million in under two years, according to her report. These observations add to her ongoing tracking of trends among founders, investors, and early employees.
