In this video, Caya shares a personal and candid journey through multiple startup accelerators, including DreamIt Ventures, 500 Startups, and Startup Chile, revealing the challenges and benefits of these programs. He recounts living in the office during DreamIt, discusses why they chose to go through so many accelerators, and offers advice on navigating the process without diluting equity unnecessarily.
We also break down the differences between top accelerators, highlight key lessons on funding, networking, and mentorship, and give practical tips for founders looking to apply to these programs successfully.

Still thinking about joining an accelerator after watching this video? Is the equity worth it?
We’re here to help you navigate those decisions → yt.slidebean.com/763
Very interesting. I did 3 start-ups now (all failed) and looking back, god, we were so clueless. My lesson learned is that the VC route is not the only way. Slow and steady, do what you enjoy, it's fine.
currently in an accelarator programme, and I am learning so much.
I hope you didn't give up on startups.
no one can beat you in making videos about startup.
But not startups
So, I'm in Detroit and we have a few mini versions. Back in 09 we tried a few and barely got noticed. However, they weren't all tech related. What I don't agree w/ regarding the what the YC and others are looking for is that they need to see at least 10k users on something or sales. To me, that isn't what an accelerator is for. They're to help you GET to that point.
There's a couple of accelerators that give a lot of money now I think HF0 gives $1m, and AI Grant gives $250k, someone else does $1m too. They're just super super small.
Hey Caya, can you make a video on pre-seed incubators and or pre-accelerator programs; I'm new to all of this and looking for a program to get experience and a better understanding for the landscape rather than funding in return for equity
I've looked online, and most people use the incubator and accelerator term interchangeably, when they sound like they offer different things; I've got a few people who are helping me in refining the idea stage, but having some mentorship, guidance and working resources without any equity pressure would be cool
I would love to hear the answer to this.
Make a video on => In early stage startup, how to hire employees strategically. hiring interns?? or experienced people to the keep the team short as possible
Uhm, wouldn't you just use a job board or networking events? Surely this is straightforward
All it matters in startup is how many times can you iterate and how often can you meet experts. It requires cash and some peace of mind. If you don't have 100-200k saved up, don't start. Instead get a high paying tech job and try to deeply understand customers parallely. I made this mistake. My rich accelerator batchmates could spend few 100s of dollars on interns, get things implemented really fast, test and fail fast
Can you explain what you mean by “don’t apply too early”?
The CEO needs a lot of open time to network. If you’re product building, you won’t have enough time to make the most out of the time in the program.
@@StartupClubTV ooh, gotcha. That makes sense.
Waoooo!!! El real startup channel we were looking for!!! 🎉🎉
Does anyone know how PearX compares on this list?
Thank you sir for the education, motivation and inspiration.. These lessons are truly awesome .. remarkably invaluable. 😊
Interesting stuff. An episode on grant applications would also be interesting to see.
i wish i could add Slidebean and Caya to my my board...
Wow! I want to hug you! 😂😂😂 I'm out here female founding & been through 2 VCs & 1 "Angel Investor." 🥱🤬🤯😩🤪☺️ Sharing this video with my team. 🙏🏽
I love your content. Very informative.
I just started an accelerator and this video helped
I help lead programs for one of those A tier companies and I can tell you that empowering and equipping my founders toward success is one of the highlights of my life. I care so deeply for helping them grow and get unstuck. In my opinion, the money helps, but the real value is the mentorship and connections. Keep building, founders!
No music would’ve been much better 🥲
