Since 2012 Alchemist Accelerator has advanced 64 companies according to CrunchBase. Of these, 29 companies have received more than a 1M raise and of these, four have raised around $5M at a $25M pre-money valuation.
Alchemist Accelerator is an enterprise focused accelerator with a 6 month program. This is longer than most programs, which typically run for 3 months. Ravi Belani, the founder of Alchemist Accelerator, cites the need for a longer sales cycle for enterprise. Alchemist likes to work with companies to get significant customer interaction and feedback. Companies need to be in the Bay Area but can choose where to work, as they have coworking spaces in San Francisco, Santa Clara and Menlo Park. 3 notable exits are Assemblage by Cisco, Mobilespan by Dropbox and Appslinger by Otoy.
