Ask HN: Do You Really Need An Accelerator?

I researched the topic of incubators and accelerators extensively. It's important to understand the difference between an accelerator and an incubator. An accelerator involves smaller amounts of capital, smaller amounts of equity and a shorter time frame, while an incubator usually involves bringing in an outside management staff and giving up more equity. The best way to get the most out of an accelerator is to be open to feedback, but be smart enough to filter out what you don’t feel is relevant.
