Alchemist Accelerator

Alchemist Accelerator is a venture-backed initiative dedicated to accelerating the development of early-stage ventures that monetize from enterprises. The accelerator's primary screening criteria emphasize teams with distinctive technical co-founders. Alchemist Accelerator seeds around 75 enterprise-monetizing ventures annually through three programs per year. Over 50% of these startups secure institutional funding within 12 months of their Demo Day. The accelerator's backers include top corporate and VC funds in the Valley, such as Khosla Ventures, DFJ, Cisco, GE, next47 (Siemens), and Salesforce. Notable alumni include LaunchDarkly, Rigetti Quantum Computing, mPharma, Matternet, and Mightyhive.

The accelerator offers a structured path to traction, fundraising, mentorship, and community over the course of a six-month program. It is ideal for B2B SaaS, infrastructure, deep tech, cybersecurity, robotics, AI/ML, or industrial startups. Founders building tools for enterprises, mid-market, or SMB customers are particularly well-suited for the program. Alchemist Accelerator has launched over 400 startups and boasts one of the highest funding rates among accelerators.

In addition to its main program, Alchemist Accelerator operates AlchemistX, a custom services division that aids startups in product-market fit, scaling strategies, and go-to-market approaches. AlchemistX also runs the Silicon Valley Residency Program, which supports bold startups from Central Eurasia with investor access, hands-on mentorship, and full immersion in the U.S. tech ecosystem. This program includes a four-month co-living and co-working experience in Palo Alto, California, providing startups with the opportunity to refine their products, conduct customer development, and explore new ideas within the heart of Silicon Valley.
