I've been doing some research on startup accelerator models and find myself wondering: How healthy is it to house so many startups under one roof/space and in close proximity? How close is too close? How many events, activities and groups photos is too many? Accelerator are diversified enough to gain from the exchange of experiences and from the influence those founders will have on each other, but is it in the best interest of the founders. If it is good for founders then why are most programs just 4 months long? It would be interesting to compare the most successful accelerators with the mediocre ones when it comes this.
