What advice do you have for entrepreneurs thinking about applying to incubators or accelerators?
These are great opportunities, but your business must happen with or without them. It's easy to get caught up in the excitement and the aspiration of being accepted to a "prestigious program" -- after all, it's validation that you're on to something! But if things don't work out, the show must go on. Your goal is to create a company, so don't lose sight of the bigger picture.
