500 Global Flagship Accelerator

500 Global runs accelerator and investment programs for global startups. Public program material references a $150,000 investment in selected startups. The Flagship Accelerator's terms are $150,000 for a 6% stake, with a program fee of $37,500 typically netted against the investment, delivered through a roughly four-month in-person curriculum. 500 Global does not run a standalone India cohort, so Indian founders — including those with no formal entity yet — apply directly to the global Palo Alto-based program alongside international peers, gaining access to over $1 million in partner credits via 500 FounderHub in addition to capital. This makes it best suited to India-linked startups already comfortable operating and fundraising outside a purely domestic process.
