Ask HN: Most valuable use of time during an incubator/accelerator

4 pointschrisrickard1 comment

HN, my startup Setkick is about to embark on a 3 month journey with Aussie incubator Startmate - which is similar to YC's model.

Understandably this question is quite general & product specific - but I was just wondering if anyone who has been through a similar program - had any general advice, on what they found valuable to focus on during this time.

Cheers,

IMHO, the other founders and mentors related to the accelerator program are often the best part of it. Take advantage of that mentorship as much as possible.

Disclaimer: I run the accelerator program at 500 Startups (and we've invested in a handful of Startmate companies) and this is the same advice I give our portfolio.
