And the more specialized the accelerator, the higher the social capital becomes. While novel ideas are worth something, the most valuable accelerators have highly specialized niches that allow their experts to transfer the highest quality and most relevant information. In turn, the experts (mentors and VCs) get to learn really unique and specific information about how their industry works.

This is a great article! I would love to chat with you about your time building and running an accelerator. I am considering starting my own and would love to hear more about your experience!
