## Description

Venture capitalists, financial analysts, and founders use this MCP to quantify exactly how much an accelerator program boosts a startup's worth. It moves beyond simple growth metrics, providing specialized tools to isolate the true financial impact. You can determine the direct percentage increase in valuation, calculate the annualized return to normalize growth over the program's duration, and even separate the prestige value of the accelerator itself. Furthermore, you can compare the startup's performance against the broader industry baseline to see if the program delivered anything beyond expected sector growth. This MCP gives you the data needed to make a precise valuation argument.

## Frequently Asked Questions

**What is 'alpha' in the context of this MCP?**
Alpha refers to the excess return of a security or portfolio compared to the return of a benchmark index. Here, it means determining if the accelerator provided growth beyond what the general industry average would have given.

**Does this MCP calculate total revenue growth?**
No. This MCP focuses on valuation and return rates. It calculates the valuation premium and the annualized return, which are different from simple revenue growth figures.

**Can I use this for non-accelerator growth analysis?**
The tools are specifically designed to measure the impact of accelerator programs. They isolate the value added by the program's reputation and structure.

**What kind of data do I need to provide?**
You need to provide key financial data points, such as the startup's valuation at the start and end of the program, and the duration of the program.
