About IDEA Accelerator

IDEA Accelerator is an accelerator program run by Builders + Backers. This program supports startups with non-dilutive Pebble Funds, meaning that entrepreneurs can receive funding without giving up equity in their companies. This is particularly beneficial for early-stage startups that are looking to grow without immediately sacrificing ownership. The accelerator runs in cohorts, providing structured support, mentorship, and resources to help startups scale their operations and validate their business models.
