Give More Than You Get One of the things i love about working with the outstanding team at Techstars Boston Accelerator  is the 'Give First" mentality My friends Ben Greene and Anuj Adhiya 📈 are great examples of that They go out of their way to ensure that the founders in the program get the most out of it and progress Here is how they do it: • They help the technical teams ensure the product is rock solid • They challenge go to market assumptions founders are making • They ensure that founders understand their ICP (Ideal Customer Profile) • They align talent strategies with business goals • They constantly ask "how can i help" When you get to do something you love, it doesn't feel like work Cheers 🍻 friends. #techstars #founders #friends TruLeague Vitelle Redefine Surgery PraxisPro ONOS HomeRun IQ (Techstars ‘24) Coworked (Techstars '24) Caltana BLOOM Curiflow https://lnkd.in/ehGi5bVn

Startup founders often look to incubators and accelerators to help them find product/market fit and raise initial capital. But there’s another option for entrepreneurial founders who want to go out on their own but maybe lack the right idea or team. Venture studios don’t fund an existing idea — they incubate their own ideas, build a minimum viable product, find product/market fit and early customers, and then recruit entrepreneurial founders to run and scale the business. https://lnkd.in/gFNiWkj6
