I've never been sold on a lot of accelerators - especially north of the border. YC and 500 clearly have a great value proposition, but up here a lot of them lack the two things I look for as a founder: meaningful connections to bluechip VCs, and a substantial convertible note. I mean let's face it: I'd rather eat glass than write a business plan for MarsDD.
Founderfuel out of montreal seems to have their shit together. 25k seed and a 150k convertible note are making it sound pretty good to me. Might even apply this time around.
