This research was conducted to design a model to improve the performance of start-up accelerators and identify their dimensions and components. This research is a mixed exploratory research in terms of nature and is applied in terms of purpose. It includes two qualitative (supercomposition and Delphi) and quantitative parts. In the qualitative part, the research population was 25 Persian and Latin articles related to the improvement of performance in the accelerator, which were selected by census method with the metacombination mode. The statistical population in the Delphi section included 30 faculty members in management and managers related to start-up accelerators. In the quantitative part, 250 samples of employees of Iranian accelerators were selected using a systematic random stratified method. Data were collected using the researcher's questionnaire, the validity of which was obtained and confirmed by construct validity and factor loadings, as well as the calculation of Cronbach's alpha. For data analysis, exploratory and confirmatory factor analysis and path analysis were used using SPSS and Smart PLS software. According to the results obtained from exploratory factor analysis, 73 questionnaire items were classified into 12 main components and 61 sub-components. The results of confirmatory factor analysis show that 12 human resource components of coaching, management techniques, customer perspective, continuous improvement, support, financial relations, internal processes, business model, program ecosystem, competitors, and environment are effective in improving the performance of start-tup accelerators
