SilverCaribe Accelerator
Innovation for the Aging Future. Built in The Bahamas for the Caribbean.
Are you ready to turn your business or idea into real impact?
Every great founder starts with a question. “How do I solve this problem?”
Maybe you’ve seen your parents struggle with tech. Maybe you’re 60, considering retirement, and finally considering starting the business you’ve been sitting on for years. Maybe you know the future lies in caring for a population that’s growing older, faster than ever before.
Whatever your why – the SilverCaribe Accelerator is your how.
The SilverCaribe Accelerator is an 8-week hands-on program for innovators building solutions for the aging population AND for older adults ready to become entrepreneurs themselves.
Ran by Arrowlynk Ventures and backed by the IDB Lab, this isn’t just a program. It’s a movement.
Starting up in the Caribbean isn’t easy.We have:
- Big ideas but no roadmap
- Vision but little mentorship
- An idea or prototype but no feedback
- Energy but little access to funding or a supportive network
What’s more, the problems you’re solving – like elder care, access, tech inclusion – are often ignored or underfunded.
We plan to change that.

“As someone who has always dabbled in side hustles, this program was key in helping me build on that. The Silver Caribee Accelerator sharpened my vision and strengthened my strategy. I came in with an idea — I left with a plan. Highly recommend for any one wanting to gain vocabulary and tools to improve their confidence as entrepreneurs.”

“This course helped me to create a Business Plan. It also was very helpful in having me research all the aspects and details of my Business Model Canvas. I was able to understand and check my Financial Projections to ensure that my business idea was going to make a profit after paying all the expenses needed to make the business work.
