In this video, we are going to look into: What startup accelerators are, choosing a program that is worth it for you (or deciding if you should skip them altogether), and finally how to get in.
This video was NOT sponsored by Startup Chile, DreamIt Ventures, or 500 Startups. Not directly, at least. But all three of them invested in Slidebean and helped us get our company to where it is today.
