What is a team?
Within accelerators and incubators, “team” refers to a group of people working together to manage the end to end lifecycle of the program(s) the organisation delivers. The team can vary in size, depending on the organisation, and can include a mix of part-time and full-time employees, interns, as well as contract-specific roles (e.g. entrepreneur in residence). Team members can have different levels of seniority and decision making power.
The team is also in charge of creating the right conditions for entrepreneurs to reach their full potential by obtaining and facilitating support from ecosystem stakeholders (mentors, investors, expert, partnerships, etc.). Depending on the organisation’s business model, the team can also be engaged in managing other products and services (e.g. running a coworking space, performing consulting work).
