There are no any online ones, right? But why not?

65% of human communication is nonverbal. If I'm giving you >$10k I want to meet you in person. Its very easy to lie on a keyboard.

  But accelerators are not only about money, aren't they? How about a process of looking for co-founders, learning... Video chats may be used for a better communication. At least, online model can be combined with the classical accelerators. What do you think?
