Start ups are collaborative incubators that help you develop your product, sell it, and find investors.  There are hundreds in USA, but getting into these is challenging.  So it is good to have pre accelerators

It is a brutal test.  And a rewarding place to be if you can sell and have a lot of followers/customers
