Negative Signaling with Pioneer.app Accelerator


Taking a quick look at pioneer.app remote accelerator. They offer a small reward package to the winners, including a trip to SV.

BUT, they now discuss an optional funding package of $50K-$100K for 5%. The problem of course is that some winners might not get funded. Which is a pretty horrible situation to be in. You try to raise, but your accelerator is not keen.

Any thoughts ?!

Yes, seems like it would have that problem. I know YC is very careful about that, for example they participate in every YC company's series A, and I think I read somewhere it's to avoid that signalling risk
