“Investors said no, but Peachscore said go! Alex invested, brought other investors on board, and helped us raise over $1M. We made it onto Shark Tank—and eventually sold the company for more than $75M.”
“
“Peachscore played a crucial role in our journey to raising $3M and $10M. With their support, I was able to secure our first $3M seed round, and without them, I would not have been able to close the round—even with my strong technical background and previous experience working at organizations like NASA.”

Some of the most frequently-asked questions we get from other opportunity seekers
Dealum is known as one of the largest platforms designed to support angel investment groups and early-stage investors by providing tools that streamline the investment process, manage deal flow, and facilitate collaboration between investors and startups. The platform helps investors source, evaluate, and connect with promising startups while offering features like deal tracking, application management, and communication tools tailored for angel groups. Recently, Dealum partnered with Peachscore to expand its support for early-stage startups through a data-driven, virtual accelerator program. This alliance combines Dealum's investor network and management tools with Peachscore's startup evaluation and growth resources, aiming to provide startups with mentorship, insights, and opportunities without requiring equity. Together, they provide a comprehensive platform for startup acceleration and investment readiness, set to increase the chance of startups to raise investment from investors, and it's accessible from the idea stage to Series A.
Our industry-agnostic, fully online accelerator programs are equity-free and require no warrants. The 12-month program costs $395 ($75 application fee + $320 enrollment fee upon acceptance). In many countries, enrollment fees can be reclaimed through R&D tax credits. Startups based in United Nations SDG-aligned regions (87 countries) qualify for additional grants. Eligibility is based on company location and confirmed upon starting the application.

Accepted companies will have access to the entire Peachscore platform and ecosystem for 12 months, even after graduation, along with membership in our alumni network.

All courses in the Peachscore Learning Hub are pre-recorded in collaboration with real mentors, including senior executives from major corporations, government agencies, venture capital firms, and top educational institutions. The content is not AI-generated—it's designed to provide founders with practical, real-world insights from experienced professionals. In addition to the pre-recorded courses, Peachscore also hosts multiple live sessions each month and invites all founders to participate, engage with experts, and ask questions in real time.
Certainly, our accelerator program is also open to aspiring entrepreneurs looking to turn their business ideas into reality.
You can apply at any time; your cohort assignment will depend on the date of your application.
The majority of traditional accelerator programs including Y Combinator and Techstars focus on seed-stage accelerators and companies that have already gained traction, built a team, launched a live product, and established product-market fit. These programs typically accept only 1–3% of applicants, with a waiting period of 3–6 months to receive a response. The process often involves multiple rounds of interviews and offers limited seats. In contrast, our program welcomes companies at all stages, from the idea phase to Series A, with no requirement for early traction. On average, we accept 14% of startups into our program, providing final acceptance within 2 minutes to 3 days.
The entrance fees for Founder Institute and other similar accelerator paid programs in this category run into several thousand dollars, whereas our program's enrollment fee upon acceptance is very nominal—just $300, which is considered almost free of charge! Additionally, programs like Founder Institute and others require founders to sign warrants and relinquish 2.5% to 8% equity in their companies. In contrast, our program is completely equity-free and does not require any warrants. Unlike these programs, which do not invest in startups at the outset but retain rights for future investment, we do not take any such rights from founders. Our approach ensures that you maintain full control over your company, both now and in the future. Moreover, we are the only accelerator that provides 500 hours of group office hours and mentorships a year. None of the programs in this category provide such a vast amount of mentorship for startups.
Our program, in addition to offering mentorship, group office hours, demo days, and other human interactions typically provided by accelerator programs, is equipped with proprietary technology and a platform that delivers business intelligence, market insights, benchmarking, AI-driven recommendations, access to 12.6K investor profiles, competitive landscape analysis, and more—features no other accelerator offers to their startups. We are proud to be the only accelerator in the world providing such a hybrid model, empowering our founders to gain an unfair advantage in this dynamic market.
Our Accelerator program is fully online. However, we host or co-host a lot of in-person events, conferences, and workshops across different countries alongside our partners.
Accelerator programs, including renowned ones like Y Combinator, typically provide value to startups while generating returns in two key ways: Short-Term Gains: Most accelerators charge their limited partners (LPs), corporate sponsors, or government backers up to $50,000 per company to fund the program. Often, startups are unaware that the accelerator has received these operational funds. At Peachscore, we estimate the hard cost of hosting a startup in our ecosystem for 12 months to be $5,000. Of this, $4,650 is covered by sponsors, which we classify as a grant since a third party effectively pays for your enrollment. Importantly, we are fully transparent with founders about this funding structure. Long-Term Gains: While most accelerators take 5–12% equity in exchange for a few weeks of participation, Peachscore stands apart as completely equity-free, with no warrants or ownership requirements. As a result, once you complete your enrollment, you effectively receive a $4,650 grant from our sponsors, with the remaining $350 contributed by the founder as their share of the program costs.
You will have access to 500 hours of group office hours per year (2 hours daily), allowing you to join at any time to ask questions, collaborate with our team, and work through our curriculum to perfect your pitch deck. Throughout the program, you'll receive support to create, revise, or finalize your business model; calculate your market opportunity and target industry sector; and validate your customers. Additionally, we offer guidance in product development, UI/UX design, marketing, branding, sales, public relations, financial planning, and KPIs. You'll also gain insights into fundraising techniques and strategies, legal considerations, cybersecurity, networking, and relationship building. Beyond these resources, you'll have the opportunity to raise investment through our investment arm and channel partners while gaining exposure to our extensive global network of investors and angel groups.
Peachscore Angel Group is a separate team from our accelerator program, but all feedback and recommendations from the accelerator are provided alongside the startups' applications, influencing the investment decision-making process. This group consists of over 25 investors who review startups with the potential to fund up to $500K via a convertible note. All Peachscore alumni can submit their funding requests through our automated platform, streamlining the process for founders seeking investment.
Peachscore is the world's first and largest data-driven startup accelerator platform, where advanced technology meets human expertise to revolutionize startups' journeys from ideation to series A.
