Acceleration — A guide

4 min readSep 12, 2020

This serves as a map for those who are looking to join an accelerator and start up their own business.

Disclosure: I did not make it pass the first stage of the program with Antler Team. This is a map I made with my dying breath that I bequeath unto you. Hopefully it will help to provide guidance, minimally be less lost 🤪

Created with the most advanced graphics tool: G slides (more importantly credit goes to noun project folks for their amazing cute images)

Quick Intro

This is meant to be imagined like a board game (or bored game). The flow co-founder to Go to market is a recommended flow. You can change the order to suit your liking ie you could start with solution first and then force fit a problem onto it (blockchain anyone?). Based on pitch decks, the flow will help to cover the key points you wish to make. If validated properly you should be able to hopefully raise money

Resources

This is what you may have or what you may need to use

Time

This is a resource that cannot be replenished

For the program we all had 8 weeks to justify our existence in return for a bag of money to prolong our survival

Money

If you already have this and are looking for a 100X return and 2000X the pain for doing so, then startup is the path for you

If you are enjoy a laugh at the expense of our corporate overlords, I hope my sense of humour is the cause
