Experience With Search Fund Accelerators?

I'm exploring then entrepreneurship through acquisition and I would love to hear people's experience with traditional search funds vs search fund accelerators.  Why did you pick the search vehicle you went with and has it worked? What are some of the accelerators out there?

I think it helps to be part of a structure and able to share insights with people in the same situation as you
