Before you can decide whether it’s time to submit an application to your top choice tech accelerator program, there’s something you really need to know: your company. Take it from Bow & Drape CEO and Founder Aubrie Pagano.
Since beginning work on Bow & Drape, an ecommerce fashion brand that lets shoppers customize garment details and has been making headlines this week with the launch of a new 3D printed accessories collection created in collaboration with Shapeways, Pagano has considered multiple accelerators and become a part of two programs at two very different stages in the life of her startup. In the early days of her company, Pagano participated in Mass Challenge, an annual competition and accelerator program that gave her structure and a tangible goal as she launched a Kickstarter campaign that was eventually funded to the tune of more than $30,000.
