Ask HN: Questions about Accelerators for BioChemMed+Hardware

1) What are the leading bio/chem/hardware/medical accelerators?

2) What are the 'packages' of the leading bio/chem/hardware accelerators e.g. initial funding, percentage of company shares taken, infrastructure, mentoring program, track record?

3) Is it even recommended to join a accelerator as a bio/chem/hardware team? The parameters money (and time) to prototype/product are larger as for software solutions - how do accelerators compete here with, let's say, a solid industry collaboration that may offer significant infrastructure and know how from the particular technology sector?

I would be happy to hear some opinions, or perhaps, even better, some hard earned experience.

Cheers!
