Serious question: if an accelerator asks participating startups to not hire employees from one another, does it violate laws governing fair competition?
- tikhonj 15y agoEven if it isn't illegal, it's probably contrary to the interests of the accelerator: if one of your startups needs somebody more than another--enough for an increase of pay or some other benefits--then, for the whole program, having that person move is probably better than artificially forcing him to stay.
- sroussey 15y agoI think that would fall under conspiracy to commit crimes, but talk to a lawyer. In the end, I think it would show that the accelerator was pretty stupid. There will be a natural inclination not to do so inside the program anyway, so why cross the line like that?
