内容简介:

This paper examines whether business accelerators enhance workers’ long-term career trajectories,beyond improving startup performance. Using matched Crunchbase–LinkedIn data across the Americas and a quasi-experimental design in Colombia, we find that employees of accelerated startups experience lasting gains—seeing a 1.5 times higher wage increase and 3 times higher likelihood of transitioning into managerial roles within seven years, without increased unemployment risk. These effects are not explained by transitions to other companies within the accelerators’ network, persist even when ventures fail, and are strongest among workers without formal business training. Accelerators thus act as institutions of human capital formation, accelerating experiential learning and diffusing managerial talent across the innovation economy.
