I just recently got out of an accelerator and the biggest thing I saw in the program was teams either able to execute or not able to execute. This makes a world of difference.
Also, figuring out your priorities as far as design first, just get something out there, etc. but whatever it is make sure everyone agrees on the time and methodology, ie design first will take longer.
Another big one, and one I got screwed over on, was finish all the legal paperwork in a program like this as early as possible. Make sure to sign your employee agreement and pay/equity agreement if you're getting it. Do this early on so everyone is on the same page and is clear about what's going on. I was cofounding and just this last Sunday got terminated after spending the last 4 months working on it. No cause or notice and almost without pay (still working on this). Always fear the worst and never think it won't happen to you.
