Frequently Asked Questions

What is the MARL Accelerator?
AMARL (Mobility, Autonomy, Robotics and Logistics) provides powerful accelerator services for enterprises operating on the 5G network. In the simplest of terms, we’re a dedicated team of experts set on launching your business into the future.
What is the difference between an accelerator and an incubator?

AIncubators and accelerators are often regarded as interchangeable. However, there is a distinct difference between the two.


Incubators:
An incubator’s goal is to prevent external forces from destroying a company. Rather than accelerating a business, they give it a stable environment. They build the foundations in which a company can grow by providing office space, discounted services, Wi-Fi and much more.

Accelerators:
An accelerator’s mission is to increase the speed in which a company develops. Instead of building walls, they provide an accelerant. This includes a small investment of capital ($25k – $150k) and connections to mentors.

Who are the backers of the MARL Accelerator?
AOur accelerator is backed by the MARL Venture fund. Our Fund LP’s include VCs, Family offices and high net worth individuals.
When and where is the program? What does it include?

AOur cohorts run twice a year (Fall and Spring) online. Our 3-month program includes mentorship, networking, fundraising, go-to-market, beta, pilot, and legal sessions.

Does MARL Accelerator negotiate on the terms of investment?

AWe provide an immense amount of value to our cohort companies. We’ve created fair and reasonable terms that we do NOT negotiate. As of now, we offer our investments for 5% of equity in a company.

What is 5G technology?

AThe 5G mobile cellular communications system provides an advanced level of performance. It’s not just the ‘next’ version, but a highly evolved technology vastly different than its former generations.


The creation of 5G technology was driven by ad applications. It provides ubiquitous connectivity for applications like automotive communications, remote control (with haptic style feedback), large video downloads and low data rate applications.

What are key advantages of 5G technology?

A5G Technology includes:

  • High resolution and bi-directional large bandwidth shaping
  • Gathering of networks on one platform
  • Subscriber supervision tools
  • Large broadcasting data in Gigabit (supports more than 60,000 connections)
  • Easy manageability with previous generations
  • Support of heterogeneous services (including private networks)
  • Consistent global connectivity
Does the program require the founders to relocate to the San Francisco Bay Area?

ANo, we do no require founders to relocate to the SF Bay Area. The program is entirely virtual, however Demo Day will be held in the San Francisco Bay Area, and attendance in person is mandatory for founders.

However, we may make an exception in certain cases. Please inquire by emailing us at info@marlaccelerator.com
