That's an interesting and I think valid point. Older people tend to find it easier to raise money just on their own, make connections on their own, etc. They also have more experience, so they need less mentoring.

Maybe they just don't need accelerators as much, therefore there's no niche for one that caters to that crowd.

Also more skeptical and less willing to hand over equity and control without raw-numbers proof of a significant positive contribution.

The social capital you get from dinners and networking is all very well. But it's not quite enough to provide that proof in an objective business-case sense.
