We’re tracking 134 seed accelerators in 33 countries. These accelerators have funded over 2000 startups, and seed companies have raised over $1.6 billion in funding. One hundred of these companies have already sold for an estimated total of over $1 billion.

The numbers are certainly impressive, but I wish the focus was not on funding. The real value of accelerators is that they are the future of education, the funnel for creating the next generation of entrepreneurs, and the foundation for the innovation ecosystem. This is not just happening or relevant for Internet tech either, but for medicine, agriculture, manufacturing, and other industries.
