Pros

if in an accelerator program you get to work with amazing founders

Cons

- the external hype of doing well is mostly a facade. Internally things are a struggle. - terrible human capital skills across all levels of the organization. The most important people ie the teams who run the programs are not well taken care of if issues arise. Decisions are made in a top down way. - you’re experience is very much dependent on your MD.
