Is joining a startup accelerator worth it?

There are so many startup accelerators around the world, and all of them have different approaches. Some give a lot of freedom to startups, others create heavy weekly schedules. But are they actually effective?

Boost Turku is running the 8-weeks long accelerator program called Startup Journey for very early-stage startups. Our way of accelerating them is through regular progress follow ups, providing valuable learning and networking opportunities, and creating the motivating environment.


Right now we have reached the halfway point of the Startup Journey program. And so far the startups have defined their business ideas and customers, were “forced” to get out of the comfort zone and start calling their potential partners and clients, gotten lots of leads as the result of these calls and learnt the basics of pitching.

Would they achieve such a strong business and personal growth in just 4 weeks on their own? Well, let's say that it would at least be much harder. That is why we believe that if you are eager to learn from successful entrepreneurs, gain a support group of people that have the same ambition level as you and get your business boosted then startup accelerators are worth your time and effort!
