Business accelerators can be valuable resources for entrepreneurs. Traditionally, they have provided a space to attend expert talks and workshops, make valuable connections, and test your idea alongside other would-be founders. But how can a founder best capitalize on this opportunity? Miriam Schwab from Strattic has some ideas. She joins Brian Gupton on the podcast to discuss when to consider paying a fee or trading equity for space in an accelerator, the benefits and limitations of online-only accelerators, how to maximize your value from the workshops offered, and more. She also delves into other topics, including finding the right business partner, scraping together your first MVP, and recruiting your first set of clients and investors. We were fortunate to have an established professional like Miriam join us to share her insights, and we really encourage anyone who has considered joining an accelerator to give this one a listen.
