In 2020, male- and female-led startups that participated in a business accelerator raised more debt capital than those that did not participate. Male-led startups raised more debt capital than their female counterparts, irrespective of accelerator participation or not. Female-led startups that did not participate in an accelerator raised around 8,700 U.S. dollars, while male-led startups that also did not participate raised 2.9 times this amount.
For startups that did participate in the accelerator, a significant increase is shown post-acceleration, for both male- and female-led startups. Male-led startups that participated in an accelerator raised about 26,600 U.S. dollars, 1.2 times higher than the 21,500 U.S. dollars in debt capital raised by female-led startups. Accelerators therefore proved more effective for female-led than male-led startups in terms of raising higher debt capital.
