While reviewing notes for a potential case with an e-commerce company in Argentina, the research team at HBS’s Latin America Research Center (LARC) noticed multiple mentions of one of the organization’s leaders, Karen Bruck. As the director of corporate sales, Bruck was facing challenges developing one of her managers who, though business savvy, was struggling to adjust to the workplace culture. Excited at the prospect of finding another case highlighting the region and industry, the research team quickly created a one-page case brief and soon after produced a case with HBS Professor Joshua Margolis, whose research interests include exercising leadership through difficult situations.

What is an Accelerator?
A startup accelerator is a company that provides support, both financially and as an educational mentorship, to startup companies. Multiple startup companies typically will be involved with the accelerator as they work to accelerate the early stages of their companies.
The learning curve for startups usually takes years, but an accelerator program attempts to teach it all in a few months. Accelerator companies usually take an equity percentage of the startup in exchange for investing money and time into the business.
What Type of Companies are Accelerators For?
Accelerators are for startup companies that are looking to receive both financial and educational mentorship from experts in their fields.
