• Y Combinator is the best accelerator. They are the first in the market with an accelerator model.
• One thing about Y Combinator is that their model makes something people want. So, they want you to focus on what makes your business successful and keep building towards that.
• The matrix that defines a successful business-to-business company in the very early stage is how much revenue they have and how long it took them to reach that revenue stage.
• No matter what stage of company you are in, spending a lot of money in the beginning before you have a product market is suicidal for a startup.
• If you don’t know what you are keeping track of, if you don’t have a product that people are engaging on, you are just burning money.
