HN discussionWe thought that there could be a good discussion on what are the advantages of being inside a startup accelerator (like http://jfdi.asia ) vis-a-vis doing it all on your own. There is very little written by the incubatees themselves, so for entrepreneurs considering the benefits (that goes beyond just mentoring) against giving equity is difficult to judge. Hope this article helps.
