To bootstrap, or not to bootstrap- that is the question
Many entrepreneurs overlook accelerator programs for their startups because they think they can bootstrap their operations with their small team. While in the beginning that may be true, what do you think would have become of Apple if Steve Jobs and Steve Wozniak never moved their company out of the garage?
The truth is, bootstrapping is only great until you want to grow fast, and fast growth is where the accelerator comes into play.
Accelerators can make your busy entrepreneurial life a whole lot easier. They provide expert guidance on turnkey operations and development, sales and marketing strategies, and more. Accelerators can also provide you with mentorship, and sometimes even capital. Most importantly, their strategies are tried-and-true… just ask any former graduates of the program, whose companies have already gained traction!
If you think you are ready for an accelerator, then I would highly recommend it. After all, it may mean the difference between success and failure for your startup.
