David Cohen: As founder and CEO of the Techstars accelerator program, I believe that entrepreneurs should demand transparency from startup accelerators. This has always been important, but will only become more so as the number of accelerators increases.
When we started Techstars in 2006, we were one of just a few accelerators in existence. Now there are more than 1,000 from all over the globe, with new ones cropping up all the time. Obviously, some of these will be of higher quality and have better results than others. Unless an accelerator is completely transparent, it can be very difficult for an entrepreneur to know much about those results or even how the program operates.
