Accelerators vs. Angels vs. VCs: Choosing Your First Partner
- #VC
- #AngelInvestor
- #Accelerators
Starting a company comes with a big question: who should you partner with first?
Should you join an accelerator for structure and mentorship? Bring in an angel investor who believes in your vision? Or go straight to a VC for fast growth?
Each option has pros and cons — and timing matters. This session breaks down what accelerators, angels, and VCs offer at different stages, and how to choose the right one for where you are now.
If you’re launching a startup and unsure where to start, this talk is for you.
