(full disclosure - I am one of the Springboard mentors so I may not be 100% objective) Generally a valid comment about accelerators proliferating and being built in similar way, but: * in case of the accelerators the people running them are fare more important than LPs behind; * in this particular case Jon is one of the greatest mentors/startup supporters I met (I went through Seedcamp with on of the companies I am involved with); * Jon used to run very successful TDE (see the track record from this program); * Springboard is based in Europe (Cambridge near London, one of the few important tech clusters here), so for teams from EU applying to Springboard is easier than to Y-Combinator (e.g. just because of the US Immigration stupidity) So summing up - I agree that it might look similar to others but in nitty gritty is not. But fair point about communicating it better on the website :)! Cheers Chris Speaking about why Spring
