Every accelerator list on the internet sucks - so I made a better one… i will not promote r/ycombinator doesnt like posts about other accelerators so reposting here Having personally participated in two accelerators in the past - it was a critical lifeline in starting a company for the first time I was suggesting a few programs to new founders and realized every accelerator list I can find is horrible. **So I made a list with the key components:** * Accelerator name and application link * number of alumni companies * Program leader (with LinkedIn link) * Typical deal terms * Program fee (irrespective of investment) *... 2 9 replies

Don't need my LLC anymore. I will not promote Hello there. I formed an LLC in Wyoming using Firstbase. I did this because I needed a Stripe account for my tech startup and since I'm from a third world country, I can't open a Stripe account without a US LLC. The thing is, I won't be continuing my startup for X reason. I should have waited some time before incorporating it, but it's too late to go back. I want to keep the LLC, since I spent $400 incorporating it and like the name, and will maybe use... 4 12 replies
2.5 months - at the hard bit (finding beta-testers) - reflection and advice - I will not promote Been debating whether I should make a post the past 2 days as I feel it will be less of a discussion and more of a request of guidance on my behalf, but that's what we're here for I suppose - and I'm looking forward to passing on my own knowledge and guidance one day when I see success.

2025 will likely be another brutal year of failed startups, data suggests [i will not promote] https://techcrunch.com/2025/01/26/2025-will-likely-be-another-brutal-year-of-failed-startups-data-suggests/ [i will not promote] More startups shut down in 2024 than the year prior, according to multiple sources, and that’s not really a surprise considering the insane number of companies that were funded in the crazy days of 2020 and 2021. It appears we’re not nearly done, and 2025 could be another brutal year of startups shutting down. TechCrunch gathered data from several sources and found similar trends. In 2024, 966 startups shut down, compared to 769 in 2023, according to Carta. That’s a 25.6% increase. One note... 4 12 replies
The RDI Process: How to Find a Winning Startup Idea💡 (i will not promote) So, you want to be a founder, huh? You’ve got the passion, the idea, and a few friends who think “pivot” is a cool business term. But how do you actually come up with a real idea that doesn’t flop harder than your last failed startup? Enter RDI – Research Driven Ideation. It’s basically the grown-up version of, “I have an idea... but what’s the problem I’m solving?” (Yes, that’s important. Turns out, building a product that people actually need is a thing.) Here’s how it works: **Phase 1**:... 2 0 replies
Seeking Advice for Salary Negotiation in a Startup (i will not promote) Hi everyone, I’m currently in a tricky situation at my startup job and would love your advice. Two years ago, I joined a promising VC-backed startup after my plan to start at a large company with a salary of €60,000–€65,000 fell through due to a global hiring freeze. At the startup, I was offered a salary of €45,000 and shares worth €3,000, which were set to vest after two years. After my first year, I received a raise of €7,500. However, this raise came from converting €5,000 worth of... 3 3 replies
What's ONE thing this Subreddit could to 10x Better to REALLY help Startups? (I will not promote) I love this subreddit but I'm feeling like there's a bit of an underlying theme or "ask" that the community seems to not be getting an answer or resource to. I just want to help - I'm not looking for a bunch of complaints (that's what the rest of Reddit is for). Explain what would be incredibly helpful in a way that a subreddit like this one could actually support. Based on what surfaces, I'll make some suggestions to the community on how I can help support those efforts... 3 8 replies
Non technical co-founder needed (I will not promote) After a few years of working on my startup I have finally released a version to my beta testers and we are fixing bugs and cleaning up our UX. That being said, there are large parts or the business that I do not have the time to do and no budget to hire people for these tasks. I am focusing all my time in the development efforts needed to push the product to release and I feel like I am drowning in all the non technical tasks. I live... 2 7 replies

Start now? I will not promote I’m at the beginning of my startup journey and torn between two approaches: 1. Start with any idea, even if it’s a copy of something existing, just to gain experience, learn the ropes, and build momentum. 2. Wait until I have the perfect idea, along with the right skills, capital, and network to maximize my chances of success. What do you think is the better approach? 4 19 replies
Parents who are building a startup at any phase... HOW? I will not promote I will not promote!!! I am fortunate to be in a situation where I can freelance as a sales rep while trying to launch my own startup. I am also blessed with two kids ages 4 and 1. It is without a doubt, the hardest thing I've ever done. I would love to hear from other startup founders and early team members- HOW? I live in the NE region.

Where's the NDA line? I will not promote. For context I'm in the pre seed stage. A huge VC I contacted just got back to me. They asked me to send in a fully costed business plan so their investors can review it. They also gave me contact info for their start-up group, but they focus UK start ups, I'm in the USA. I guess in my head, I thought my initial email pitch would lead to sending them my pre seed deck, maybe even a meeting to present it! But I dont know, sending them a... 3 18 replies
All these tedious ‘I will not promote’ subject lines will be what make me unsub from here I dont know whose idea it was or what happened to prompt it, but it doesn’t seem like it’s been thought through from the perspective of… well, anybody who reads subject lines i suppose? If it’s still happening in a week or so I don’t see a reason to keep subjecting myself to it and will just unsubscribe. If I’m at this point there’s presumably also a substantial number of people who are also quietly walking away because of it. So yeah, consider it user feedback i guess? 5 19 replies

how to get International credit card for Indian startups? I know Indian banks offer International cards, but we need a card issued by a company outside India as most of the Indian cards have OTP and 2FA and don't work with auto debit at the end of the month. For example, Heroku is not able to charge us.What other options we have? 5 0 replies
The sub is losing its value This is not a rant but raising a concern. I’ve been in this sub since I was a first time founder almost a decade ago. It was great to ask for help from more experienced founders. Recently, almost none of the posts are about building or operating a startup. Most don’t even relate to startups. Sorry to call specific people out but there are posts from freelancers with one customer asking how do I get more, or people ranting about their CEO. While these might be important topics/questions, they’re... 4 3 replies
