If you have YC as a choice, there might as well not be other choices (at least in terms of "accelerators").
It therefore isn't a question of should I do YC or (some other accelerator) .. but rather should they do an accelerator period. If that's a yes (you're at the right stage for it) then I'd argue it's pretty much a no-brainer if you get in.
- jaredsohn 13y agoI don't feel this is a proper response to my comment. This thread had been talking about how one should take money from an accelerator if it offers a greater chance of success compared to the dilution it results in; it hasn't compared the merits of YC versus other accelerators at all. Your earlier comment mentioned how rational the decision was, but I'm saying that it isn't rational based on what was written earlier in the thread since other programs weren't taken into account at all. That said, based on my understanding of the accelerator space, I'd probably prefer YC to other options. Some reasons you maybe would prefer something else (guessing) would be if it conflicts with an accelerator that is very domain specific, although I'm not sure if such a situation would happen that couldn't be worked around.
