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)
