Sammendrag
This master thesis aims at exploring how accelerator programs can facilitate

learning from failure. Failure, defined as deviance from desired results, has seen a

shift in its surrounding literature. Instead of perceiving failure as something to

punish and avoid at all costs, an increasing number of researchers now recognise

failure as valuable source of learning. Often tacit, learning for failure relies on

peer to peer knowledge sharing for the lesson to be transferred. Although these

concepts have been explored in more traditional organisational settings, little to no

research has explored how accelerator programs facilitate learning from failure.

Learning to identify and analyse failure could be a valuable tool even after the

startup has completed the accelerator program, but how does Norwegian

accelerator programs facilitate learning from failure? To answer this, we have

performed an inductive explorative study of two accelerator programs located in

downtown Oslo, Norway. Our research revealed that the participating

entrepreneurs and facilitators of the accelerator program view failure as a source

of learning, but revealed few concrete actions aimed at learning from failure. Our

research indicates that there is an imbalance between the perceived focus on

learning from failure, and the concrete actions implemented in the accelerator

program. In our thesis, we present current practises identified through our study

and present new actions accelerator could implement to improve their

entrepreneur’s capitalisation on failure.
