Accelerators are great. They provide a network, guidance, funding, and perhaps even allow founders to cross that psychological boundary of being a "real company." However, with the number of accelerators that have popped up in the past few years, it's worth noting that not all are created equal and even the good ones don't guarantee success.
Your goal shouldn't be to gain admission in to an accelerator program. It should be building a value creating business.
