This was a fun read, if a little lacking in detail (understandably).
I'm curious what they mean by saying AngelPad is the "top ranked accelerator in the world". I've heard similar things about both YC and Techstars, although it seems everyone knows that YC is the premier startup launching program, if only in legacy. Who makes these rankings anyway?
- rywalker 10y agoIt was ranked #1 by SeedRankings in 2015 when we went through it (http://www.forbes.com/sites/briansolomon/2015/03/17/the-best-startup-accelerators-of-2015-powering-a-tech-boom/#3abd219934e4 http://www.forbes.com/sites/briansolomon/2015/03/17/the-best...). Looks like 2016 dropped to #4, but still an amazing program.
- garry 10y agoYou'll notice the ranking does not include YC at all in the listing because the researchers were told that YC was opting out of such ranking lists that year. YC remains the premier #1, regardless of list.
- thaumasiotes 10y agoWhy would YC wishing to "opt out" of ranking lists be relevant to the ranking lists?
