Thanks for sharing your experience and for this advice. Did you talk to any of the alumni before applying or entering the program? I think founders should not be shy in performing the same background checks that accelerators perform on them.

Unfortunately I did not. But you are 100% right, we often here of investors doing due diligence, but founders should not shy away from doing their own at the same time. With that said, we were only the second cohort, and I do think what happened with us was a result of multiple factors, so not sure how much due diligence would have uncovered. Doesn't make it right, but it was not entirely the accelerator's fault. In the end where they did fail the cohort was on communication of what was going on.

  Just out of curiosity, is this accelerator still in business?
