Short answer

How do I find my accelerator's financial efficiency?

Divide the total capital you raised by the total fees paid to the accelerator. This gives you a direct ratio of capital inflow relative to program cost. You'll see the full breakdown below.

The results you get

Where your data lands

Your AI processes your inputs into these specific outcomes.

RATIO

Direct ROI metric

The AI calculates a single number representing your capital-to-fee ratio. This is your main efficiency indicator.

TRENDS

Capital velocity

The agent compares your current raise against previous milestones. You'll see how your capital efficiency scales over time.

COSTS

Fee breakdown

The AI categorizes every dollar spent on program fees. You get a clear view of where your investment went.

HUMAN

Strategic decisions

The AI flags unusual ratios or outliers. You decide if these numbers change how you pick future programs.

The workflow

What your AI does when the data arrives.

The AI turns your raw financial inputs into structured efficiency metrics.
