ou’ve heard the story before. A few
friends with an idea create a
product and build a company ready
to disrupt the next lagging industry
– all from their garage. Geeky
individuals, to say the least, but
giving swagger a whole new meaning. Every
entrepreneur wants to be them and every VC
wants to talk to them.
How does this come to happen? Was their
product so revolutionary that people just had to
have it? Did they have the perfect team? Did
funding keep them alive long enough to find
market fit? Perhaps so.
What often goes untold is how startups truly
reach success, and from where they receive the
resources they need to get there. That’s where
startup accelerators come in. Aligned with the
brightest minds, mentors and capital to break
new ground, accelerators are equipped to take
your startup to the next level.
With so many saturating the entrepreneur
landscape, how do you know which accelerator
is best for your startup? The answer to that takes
deeper analysis than the brief spotlights in the
list that follows, but it’s a pretty great start.
