Accelerators vs. Seed Funds
Today: Gil Dibner asked if accelerators are still relevant now that seed funds are so numerous. Here’s my perspective.
The Agenda 👇
Seed investing over the past 20 years: fewer individuals, more firms
VC firms moving up the stream so as to secure the best deals
Why selection is a problem when your job is to not miss the best startups 🤯
Not all founders are ready to work with established investment firms
‘Accelerator’ means different things, depending on if it’s at the frontier or catching up
Accelerators really matter in the context of the “Great Technology Shift”
Thumbs up/down for last week
