Alchemist Accelerator runs a six-month program for startups that sell to enterprises. Founded in 2012 by Ravi Belani, it is backed by Khosla Ventures, Cisco, Salesforce and Siemens' Next47. Its FAQ names AI-SaaS and deep tech, and defines an enterprise startup by where the revenue comes from rather than what the company sells, so B2B and B2B2C both qualify. The program charges tuition, and founders can take an optional cash investment that offsets it. Each class ends in a demo day for an invitation-only audience. More than 270 Alchemist companies have raised at least $500K, and more than 70 have been acquired — wise.io by GE, CirroSecure by Palo Alto Networks.
