The importance of well-being has gained wide-spread recognition within entrepreneurial research and at the same time entrepreneurial coach relationships have received more attention in academia. There is however, a lack of understanding on the influence of coaches on the well-being of entrepreneurs. This study seeks to contribute to academic literature by focusing on the subject of accelerator coaches and their ability to impact the mental health and well-being of the entrepreneur, by looking at both Ryff’s (2019) model on the six dimensions of eudaimonic well-being and Mansoori et al.’s (2019) three archetypes of entrepreneurial coaching relationships. This study concludes that contemporary accelerator coaches do have some degree of influence on the well-being of the entrepreneurs, however it is not on a deep personal level. This study argues that a change in coaching relationship to an evolutionary coaching relationship would improve the coaches’ focus on the well-being of the entrepreneur. (Less)
