Accelerator vs. incubator

Congratulations to all the MICA 2022 UP/Start Venture Competition finalists, a few of which you can meet below. l'm looking forward to see how your companies impact Baltimore.

 

These questions are for all the entrepreneurs who have entered incubators and accelerators: For one, what's the difference between an incubator and accelerator, in your opinion? We at Technical.ly have our official definitions, but know some folks use them interchangeably. And two, what's something you learned going through an incubator and/or accelerator you wish you knew before started it?

 

Tell us about your experiences with a reply to this email or sending a note to , anytime.
