F

Critical (F) — Cohort Yield Grade

AngelPad operated one of the most selective accelerators (~1% acceptance) from 2010 until winding down in 2024. Strong historical alumni; founder Thomas Korte's deliberate small-batch approach (~12 companies per batch) produced quality founder cohorts. 2024 wind-down reflected category contraction.
