How can accelerators and incubators help you maximize the potential of your business idea?
In the beginning everyone does mistakes. It's difficult to launch a new product and a new company and lots of startups died in the first 6 months because they don't have the right knowledge, support, network and tools to launch a business.
So, I would like to ask everyone to share their start-up experiences and I would like to hear your ideas on how accelerators and incubators should work in order to help start-ups maximize their potential since the very beginning.

I've been speaking to a few entrepreneurship support and accelerator programs lately. Basically, I think that any support that can be offered pre-application should be, that applications should be removed altogether if possible, and accepting a success rate less than 100%, when measured in founders, is unacceptable. Some of my thoughts on this are here: http://leanca.mp/2011/12/entrepreneurship-support-an-entrepreneurs-perspective/ Happy to share them if you'd like. Alex Barrera and Jan Brinckmann have more experience than me though - have you considered inviting them to a round-table? I'd ask them over Twitter...
