The Accelerator Conundrum: The 1Mby1M Paradigm

Posted on Thursday, Jun 26th 2025

We’ve meticulously dismantled the prevailing myths and exposed the inherent flaws of the traditional 3-month equity-based accelerator. 

For too long, aspiring entrepreneurs have been fed a singular narrative: give up equity, sprint for 90 days, and hope for the best. 

It’s a model designed for the few, and it often leaves the many stranded, diluted, and disillusioned. 

But what if I told you there’s a profoundly different, demonstrably more effective, and far more entrepreneur-friendly path?

Consider the 1Mby1M (One Million by One Million) paradigm. 

This is not another batch-driven, fixed-term, location-dependent program designed to skim off your equity. 

This is a truly disruptive, fundamentally alternative approach to startup incubation and growth, built on principles of sustainability, global accessibility, and, critically, the preservation of founder equity.

Since 2010, 1Mby1M has been championing a model that understands the true, arduous journey of building a successful technology venture. 

It recognizes that entrepreneurship is a marathon, not a sprint, and that real success stems from persistent iteration, frugal growth, and unwavering focus on product-market fit and revenue generation. 

We reject the notion that you need to surrender precious ownership for basic guidance. 

Instead, we offer a comprehensive, continuous ecosystem of education, mentorship, and a global community that empowers you to build without unnecessary dilution or manufactured pressure. 

This isn’t just an alternative. It’s a fundamental shift in how entrepreneurs should approach scaling their ventures in the 21st century. 

Prepare to rethink everything you thought you knew about startup acceleration.
