Short answer

How do I calculate accelerator success rates with my AI?

Your AI uses the get_success_metrics tool to pull funding data and calculate percentage wins over specific timeframes. You'll get a breakdown of success rates for 6, 12, and 18-month windows. This covers everything from raw percentages to cohort comparisons.

The results you get.

Where your data lands.

The AI processes your raw funding logs into these specific outputs.

METRICS

Time-windowed success rates

The AI calculates the exact percentage of startups that raised capital within 6, 12, or 18 months. You get clean numbers for each period.

TRENDS

Cohort performance comparisons

Compare how different batches performed against each other. The AI identifies which cohorts are hitting their funding milestones faster.

REPORTS

Formatted summary tables

The AI organizes the success percentages into structured tables. You can copy these directly into your investor updates or slide decks.

HUMAN

Strategic decision making

The AI provides the math, but you decide how to adjust your selection criteria or support programs based on these trends.

The workflow

What your AI does when the data arrives.

The AI moves from raw data extraction to structured reporting.

  1. Extract funding data

    The AI pulls all relevant funding events and startup records from your connected sources.

  2. Calculate time windows

    get_success_metrics

  3. Compute success percentages

    The AI divides successful fundraises by the total number of startups in a specific cohort to find the rate.

FAQ

Common questions

  • 01

    Can the AI change my original funding records?

    No. The AI only reads data through the get_success_metrics tool. It cannot edit, delete, or modify your source data.

  • 02

    Does the AI automatically update my spreadsheets?

    No. The AI calculates the metrics and presents them to you in chat. You must manually move the data to your spreadsheets or docs.

  • 03

    Can I ask for success rates for custom timeframes?

    The tool is specifically built for 6, 12, and 18-month windows. It cannot calculate arbitrary windows like 4 or 24 months.

  • 04

    How does the AI know which startups are in which cohort?

    The AI relies on the cohort identifiers present in your connected data. If your data doesn't label startups by cohort, the AI can't group them.

  • 05

    What happens if a startup hasn't raised money yet?

    The AI counts them as part of the total cohort size, which naturally lowers the success percentage for that window.
