While accelerators offer numerous advantages, they also come with challenges:
Equity Dilution: Many accelerators require startups to give up a percentage of equity in exchange for funding and resources. Intense Pressure: The fast-paced nature can be overwhelming, requiring significant time and effort from the startup team. Selection Competition: The application process is highly competitive, with only a small percentage of applicants being accepted. Mismatch: Not every accelerator is a perfect fit for every startup; a mismatch can lead to unmet expectations and limited benefits.
