I am writing my dissertation on the phenomenon of accelerator programmes (short-term, cohort-based development programmes), particularly with an orientation towards social/hybrid ventures. Also adopting a more process-oriented perspective.
It would be great to expand both my network in the area, and to find article references, etc that I may be overlooking!
Duncan, I'm finding the topic interesting & also find that there is a dearth of scientic research on this. I know Susan Cohen from UNC is doing some research into accelerators and there was a PDW on the topic in 2013 AOM meeting.
Other than that I found a few (BA, MA) theses, some popular press articles and some books. I can share what I have.
That would be great Ivan! Let's keep in touch... Sorry, but what does UNC stand for?
I have been studying the dan common to successful start ups.I have visited SV many times as well as a number of accelerators.
Have you written up any of your impressions from your accelerator visits, Zac? It would be interesting to see if we are identifying similar characteristics...
Have you seen the network on LinkedIn? Do join if you're interested! (Seed Accelerator Researchers )
