Concept · [Programs and community](https://ecosystem.samcarlton.com/community)

Also called: batch, class, program cohort, cohort program

A group of [founders](https://ecosystem.samcarlton.com/founder) or companies that go through a program together, on the same schedule. Some programs call it a batch.

**For example:** An [accelerator](https://ecosystem.samcarlton.com/accelerator) accepts 12 companies for its spring cohort. The 12 teams attend the same [sessions](https://ecosystem.samcarlton.com/session) and present on the same [demo day](https://ecosystem.samcarlton.com/demo-day).
