Almost every startup has flirted with the idea of joining an accelerator program.
But just how beneficial are they?
The answer really depends on you.
You miss one workshop here, one mixer there, and the next thing you know its over.
It’s free, every week, in your inbox.
Get involved in every aspect of the program.
The biggest benefit of a good accelerator program is the mentoring opportunities.
Keep in mind that your startup isnt a glass house.
Some of the best known tech companies today went through pivots and rebranding to reach where they are now.
This is your chance to see your business from different perspectives and ask as many questions as possible.
So be that nerd at the front of the classroom.
But its all too easy to let these connections fade after the accelerator ends.
Keep adding value to founders lives even after the accelerator.
Just as you need help, the rest of the founder community needs it too!
They could be a great source of new business sales or even partnerships.
