I wonder if startups accepted into GA will have a standing offer for funding like YC folks?
This seems to be about education, so perhaps the dealflow is implicit via goodwill from the funding.
As GA co-founder Brad Hargreaves wrote, " When we launched our first certification program—Front-end Web Development—a few weeks ago, we received over 100 applications for only fifteen available spots. Demand for this kind of education has clearly outstripped supply. And we want to answer the call."
- dundas 15y agoOur startup is in GA, and I would say no. There is little vetting of business model to get in GA. In fact, I would not even consider GA an incubator. They don't take equity, nor do they offer advising. It's more like super cool startup friendly paid office space. The value we've gotten has been being around really smart startups working on cool projects, and being able to share ideas.
