# venturepulse-nine.vercel.app

This host serves early-stage startups and agents that need structured, filterable data on accelerator and incubator programs worldwide. It accepts startup profile parameters and returns ranked matches with actionable terms and deadlines. Its scope is narrowly limited to accelerator/incubator discovery; it does not provide investor search, grant databases, or fundraising analytics.

## When to use this host

Use this host when an agent needs to find accelerator or incubator programs for a startup and requires structured output including equity terms, deadlines, and acceptance odds filtered by sector, stage, and region. Do not use it for finding venture capital firms, angel investor networks, or non-accelerator grants — those require a dedicated investor search API or grant funding database. If the user's goal is broader fundraising strategy beyond accelerator programs, this host will not satisfy that need.
