OP here: funny you should say that.. I did EF actually (and ended up with a similar story, i.e. failed startup :D see https://danielhomola.com/startups/learning/my-startup-failed/ https://danielhomola.com/startups/learning/my-startup-failed...) Anyways, I'd never do an accelerator kinda thing again or even take funding unless it makes a ton of sense.. turns out there are a lot of business (not unicorns) you can build with a buddy on the side and not get caught up in the craziness of raising, posturing, raising again, playing someone else's game, etc..

> turns out there are a lot of business (not unicorns) you can build with a buddy on the side and not get caught up in the craziness of raising, posturing, raising again, playing someone else's game, etc.. This! Precisely my take away from my own experience with EF (nothing against them, they are quite cool to be honest). The people i've met at EF, failed startups or not, have been absolutely.brilliant. Keep it up!
