Everyone talks about how accelerators and incubators help startups — but what if they’re actually the biggest beneficiaries of the system?
In this episode, we unpack the not-so-sexy side of the startup ecosystem: where the VC money really goes, who’s taking the lion’s share, and why some founders are just picking up the crumbs. If you’ve ever joined an accelerator, applied to one, or questioned why you’re still bootstrapping after “support,” this one’s for you.
💡 Are accelerators empowering entrepreneurs or just leveraging their hustle? Let’s talk exploitation, equity, and who actually wins.
