  • #4 - Craig Cannon: Director of Marketing at Y Combinator
    Airbnb, Twitch, Reddit, Coinbase, Dropbox……..and a ton of other companies all went through Y Combinator. Y Combinator is the most or one the most well-known accelerators in the world.    Accelerator programs usually have a set timeframe in which individual companies spend anywhere from a few weeks to a few months working with a group of mentors to build out their business and avoid problems along the way. Tons of companies apply to get into Y Combinator and if you get selected you go through an interview process before you're officially selected to join the program.
