Most doctorates and researchers can not secure an academic position, or they might find a career in the industry out of their scope or professional vision.
Start-ups can become a creative space for science, engineering and technology researchers and an opportunity to develop their careers.
Researchers, businesses and investors who get involved in business accelerators, also those creating those programmes, might ask themselves:

What makes a business accelerator programme successful for supporting early-stage entrepreneurs becoming stable in the market?
Should actors, stakeholders and accelerator programme developers pay more attention to business development, infrastructure, network (including mentors), or financial support?
How could the transformation of mentoring bind all aspects of business accelerators together and deliver their purposes and those of the businesses to be "accelerated"?

Here is my viewpoint on transforming mentoring in business accelerators as key to the programmes' success for all.
