The fundamental benefit is that the Accelerator allows the startups to get access to the resources, expertise, and industry connections they need to get their concept off the ground.  

The Stacks Accelerator is a 3-month mentorship-driven program for teams building the internet of the future, and Pravica is proud to be chosen as one of these teams. These teams are pioneering a generation of applications and services anchored to Bitcoin, expanding what was previously thought possible on the network and further unlocking the immense value in it.”
