Like all businesses, the model can vary, but in general startup accelerators make money in the form of company ownership. Meaning if your company is accepted into a startup accelerator program, it is possible that the accelerator will then own anywhere from 5-25% of your company, even as you scale. Some accelerators may even charge the startup money for certain services, but this is not typical.nnThe SpinLab is a bit unique in this respect, as we don’t take any equity or shares from any of our accepted startups, nor do we charge startups any money to partake. Our program is 100% free for accepted startups, and your company stays yours. We operate with entirely founder-friendly model, that involves numerous corporate partnerships we have forged over the years.n
