I have to agree with a lot of the comments here, the very people who need the help. The ones who are doing it the hard way, striking out on their own and grafting on only their own money/debt could really do with a helping hand here and there. But time after time we're disqualified because we're not in an incubator. Our businesses are our incubators, our customers are our incubators. Why not woo us? Why not offer us some help so we get hooked into your products? I'd love to see the stats on survival rates between bootstrapped and funded :-) Come on guys, stop adding the 'approved accelerator' nonsense - startup != accelerator !
