Short answer

How do I calculate accelerator ROI with my AI?

Your AI uses your program's historical data to model how much faster companies raise capital and the valuation premiums they achieve after graduating. You get a clear breakdown of time saved and capital efficiency to use in your next pitch.

Where every outcome lands.

The ROI breakdown

The AI processes your data into these four specific outputs.

TIME

Fundraising speed metrics

The AI calculates the reduction in months between seed and Series A. You get a specific number to prove your program accelerates the capital cycle.

VALUE

Valuation premium analysis

This compares graduate valuations against market benchmarks. It shows the specific dollar value your brand adds to a startup's cap table.

SUMMARY

The pitch deck data

The AI pulls all calculated metrics into a structured summary. This gives you the exact bullets you need for your investor presentations.

HUMAN

Strategic narrative

The AI provides the raw numbers, but you decide how to frame the story. You take these data points and build the qualitative argument for your program's impact.

The workflow

What your AI does when the data arrives.

The AI moves from raw data ingestion to a finished financial model.

  1. Analyze time savings

    The AI looks at your cohort's fundraising timelines to find patterns in capital velocity.

  2. Calculate equity upside

    It compares the post-program valuations of your graduates to standard market rates.

    valuation_premium

  3. Compile the results

    The AI gathers the time and value metrics into a single report.

    fundraising_summary

  4. Refine the pitch

    You prompt the AI to turn these specific numbers into concise bullet points for a slide deck.

FAQ

How this task behaves

    No. The AI generates the data and the text for the slides, but you must manually place them into your presentation software.

  • 02

    Does the AI change my original spreadsheet data?

    No. The AI only reads your data to perform calculations. It never writes to or modifies your source files.

  • 03

    What kind of data do I need to provide?

    You need to provide data containing fundraising dates and valuation figures, typically via a spreadsheet or CSV.

  • 04

    Can the AI predict future valuations?

    No. The tools are designed to calculate historical impact and premiums based on data you already have.
