By building the right ecosystems the program can rapidly accelerate pre-seed and seed-stage companies, often producing 9 to 12 months’ worth of growth over the course of a three-month accelerator program.
In terms of what Quake looks for – it focuses heavily on traction (50%), team (30%) and market opportunity (20%).
